Lou-is. As they had been 60 THE LIFE OF ABRAHAM LINCOLN tak-en in-to a Free Ter-ri-to-ry the slaves made a claim that they were en-ti-tled to their lib-er-ty un-der the com-mon law of the coun-try. Five of the nine jud-ges of that court were from the Slave States. Sev-en of the jud-ges were of the same mind that the Con-sti- tu-tion " re-cog-nized slaves as prop-er-ty and noth-ing more." The jud-ges held that as the blacks were not and nev-er could be cit-i-zens, they could not bring a suit in ...an-y court of the U-ni-ted States. The claim of Dred and Har-ri-et Scott would have to be set-tied by the Court of Mis-sou-ri. It was de-cid-ed that some laws made in 1820 and 1850 which could have helped the case of these two poor blacks, were " un-con-sti-tu- tion-al," not le-gal or so as to agree with the law. They said all this showed, plain-ly, that a slave had no more rights than a cow or pig, and that be-ing the case sla- ver-y could not on-ly be in the Ter-ri-tor-ies, but just as well in the Free States.
