Final answer:

Dred Scott argued for freedom based on living in a free territory, but the Supreme Court ruled against him, denying his claim.


Explanation:

Dred Scott argued in the Scott v. Sandford case that residing in a free territory should entitle him to freedom from slavery. However, the Supreme Court ruled against him, stating that blacks could not be citizens, living in free territory did not grant freedom, and Congress couldn't ban slavery in the territories.
