to a higher court and she won in 1848. She moves to Massachusetts and transfers the

and gave them pensions when they were too old to work.

Free slaves were not considered citizens of the U.S.
and slaves were the property of their owners. Therefore: Even free AA could not sue in Federal Court because
they were not citizens. Slaves brought into a state were the property of their
owners, so had no rights as citizens. The Missouri Compromise was determined to be
unconstitutional since slaves were property. This caused fear to the anti-slavery north b/c they
thought this would lead to open slavery in the Western Territories.
