Hello! Free Scott didn’t live in Minnesota or California. Therefore, C and D are out. He moved to Illinois, because he was assigned for a duty there, but he was born in Virginia, not West Virginia. Illinois was part of the Union states that had more freedom, which is different from the confederate states. The answer is B: Illinois.
