○ the dred scott case
○ the fugitive slave act

The text describes a proclamation about freeing people in rebellion against the US, which is the Emancipation Proclamation. The other options: The Dred Scott Case was a Supreme Court case about slavery/ citizenship, the Fugitive Slave Act was about returning escaped slaves, and the Kansas - Nebraska Act was about territorial slavery status. So the correct one is the Emancipation Proclamation.

The Emancipation (Proclamation)
