On May 26, 1857, slave Dred Scott and his family were freed by owner Henry Taylor Blow only 3 months after the Supreme Court ruled against them in Dred Scott v. Sandford. From the article:
"The Dred Scott case, also known as Dred Scott v. Sandford, was a decade-long fight for freedom by a Black enslaved man named Dred Scott. The case persisted through several courts and ultimately reached the U.S. Supreme Court, whose decision incensed abolitionists, gave momentum to the anti-slavery movement and served as a stepping stone to the Civil War."
