Question

In the 1850 Dred Scott case, a Missouri jury ruled
that only Scott, not his wife, should be free.
that the Scotts should be granted their freedom.
that the Scotts should remained enslaved.
that only Scott’s wife, not Scott, should be free.

Answer 1

That only Scott, not his wife, should be free.

A Missouri jury found Dred Scott free but denied freedom to his wife (her claim was treated separately); later appeals reversed and the case ultimately reached the U.S. Supreme Court.
