    B: The Scotts should be freed, but the decision was later overturned

    Explanation:

    Missouri's Dred Scott Case, 1846-1857. In its 1857 decision that stunned the nation, the United States Supreme Court upheld slavery in United States territories, denied the legality of black citizenship in America, and declared the Missouri Compromise to be unconstitutional.

    Scott sued in court for his freedom, claiming that because he had been taken into "free" U. S. territory, he had automatically been freed, and was legally no longer a slave. Scott sued first in Missouri state court, which ruled that he was still a slave under its law.
