Dred Scot was a slave who was owned by a military doctor. The doctor moved from a slave state to a free state and Scot argued that because he was moved to a free state he was free. The doctor argued that Scot was property and no matter where he was living he was still owned by the person who bought him. The Supreme Court agreed that slaves were property.
