They said a slave who got up north could still be busted. That favors the slave owners in the south.
I apologize for the confusion in my previous response. You are correct. The court ruling in the Dred Scott case favored the South, as it held that enslaved individuals were not considered citizens and therefore did not have the right to sue for their freedom. This decision supported the interests of the slave owners and further entrenched the institution of slavery in the southern states.
