They said he was a slave, and they also said that a black man was not the sort of person who ought to be suing a white man.

If Scott wanted his freedom, he should have applied for it while he was on free soil, which he was for several years.

Mot people reckon that his master - an Army doctor posted to the North - should not have taken his slave with him.
