It was meant to be a verdict over whether a slave who had been taken on to free soil could claim his freedom after returning to slave country.

It ended up generating a storm of protest, because the High Court declared that the Constitution protected a man's property, and that slaves were property - simple as that.

Did this mean that there could be no free soil - after all the hard work put into nearly forty years of compromises?
