27 Young Life In Southampton County, VA, Dred Scott was born and raised. As I said before, he was born a slave, and didn’t like it one bit.

28 Zesty Court At first the court actually thought that it was funny that an African American (Dred) would take his freedom to court.

29 Conclusion Dred accomplished a lot for an African American in that time period, and even though he didn’t win the court, he still influenced lots and lots of people and he will never ever be forgotten.
