Many courts upheld the common law doctrine, "once free, always free" that automatically granted emancipation to any slave who had lived in territory where slavery was prohibited, under the theory that once a person was free he (or she) couldn't be returned to slavery. Dred Scott lived with Dr. Emerson at a military post in Rock Island, Illinois, in 1834.
