- Let's go to Illinois & then Wisconsin territory (free states) for a few years then Come back to Missouri (slave State)
- (Dr.Emerson)
- I'm going to sue you Elizabeth Sandford for not letting me be free once I came back from a free State
- We'll let Judge chief Justice Roger Taney Decide whether you are a free man or still a slave.
- The Missourilaws applied only to someone moving to free areas by choice.Dr. Emerson was ordered by the army to move to his posts.
- According to Missouri laws any person heldin wrongful enslavement could sue for their freedom, and any person taken to a free territory was automatically free,and could not be re-enslaved.
- I got moved to a free state and came back to this slave state, but I'm supposed to still be free
- Final Decision Dred Scott will not be free, all people of African descent, free or enslaved, are not U.S. citizens. They do not have rights to sue in court, so your case is invalid.
- According to the Fifth Amendment the government can’t take someone’s propertywithout going through the courts or paying for it.
