Starting in the mid-1840s, decisions of the Supreme Court of Missouri became increasingly adverse to slaves bringing freedom suits. As we now know from the papers of the judges then serving, Judges William Barclay Napton and James Harvey Birch - who had been appointed to the court for life under the original constitutional scheme - were prepared to overrule the earlier cases and to hold that Missouri need not give comity to the law of the free territories.
