Is a slave free if he moved into a free territory?
This was quite a sticky issue before the Civil War. The most famous legal battle over this was the Supreme Court case Dred Scott v. Sandford (1857). Dred Scott was a slave who traveled with his master into Illinois, where slavery was illegal. Upon returning to Missouri, where it was legal, Scott sued his master for his freedom. The case eventually made it to SCOTUS, where Scott lost in a 7-2 decision, ultimately meaning that a slave could not be declared free if moved into a free territory. The case is considered by some to be the worst decision ever made by SCOTUS.
