According to Dred Scott's lawsuit, how had his rights been violated?

In the text, you read this about the Dred Scott case:
Dred Scott had been enslaved for many years in Missouri. Later, he moved with his owner, who was an
army surgeon, to Illinois and then to the Wisconsin Territory, where slavery was not allowed. After they
returned to Missouri, Scott's owner died. The owner's wife took ownership of Scott, and eventually
those rights transferred to her brother, John Sanford. Antislavery lawyers helped Scott to file a
lawsuit, a legal case brought to settle a dispute between people or groups. Scott's lawyers argued that,
because Scott had lived in a free territory, he had become a free man.
