The famous US Supreme Court case where the slave sued for his freedom was in the Dred Scott case. He was with his master traveling when they traveled into a free state; because they were in a free state, Scott believed he was a free man and sued for his freedom. The court however disagreed, saying that Scott was his masters property and he was not free, even in a free state. This gave people in the south an opportunity to go find their runaway slaves because they were by law, still their property.
