An army Doctor Who had unwisely taken him into free soil and then back to slave country.
This made his status uncertain, and when the doctor died and left the slave to his family, the local judges were able to deny him his freedom.
It is not known why he didn't apply for his freedom while he was in free soil, as it would have been granted automatically.
But he fought the case to the Supreme Court, and their negative decision (and attitude) offended many.
