| NAME OF LEADER | DESCRIPTION |
| Dredd Scott | Though he was not a real abolitionist, his actions led to support for freedom from slavery. He was an enslaved African-American man in the United States who unsuccessfully sued for his freedom and that of his wife, Harriet, and their two daughters in the Dred Scott v. Sandford case of 1857, popularly known as the “Dred Scott decision”. Scott claimed that he and his wife should be granted their freedom because they had lived in Illinois and the Wisconsin Territory for four years, where slavery was illegal and their laws said that slaveholders gave up their rights to slaves if they stayed for an extended period. Dred was taken by Peter Blow and his family, with their five other enslaved people, to Alabama, where the family ran an unsuccessful farm in a location near Huntsville |
