520	8		_aThe Dred Scott case was just one of many freedom suits brought by slaves in the antebellum period; an example of slaves working within the confines of the US legal system (and defying their masters in the process) in an attempt to win the ultimate prize: their freedom. And until Dred Scott, the St. Louis courts adhered to the rule of law to serve justice by recognizing the legal rights of the least well-off. This book describes twelve of these cases in close detail.
