-taken into free territory by his owner- he shall be granted his freedom.
-Any other slave in these free territories had their freedom, why shouldn't Mr. Scott?
- tension over slavery
-ruling was a choice of personal morals,
-This decision will only pull the north and south farther
-State court ruled Scott a free man, Supreme Court not (increase tension)
-Sign of an unstable relationship between state and federal gov.
