There were many problems with this compromise including if a state was on both sides would it be free or slave? This is when popular sovereignty came into place; this is where the people of the state vote if they want to be a free or slave state. The problem with this is sometimes people would come from the North and South and stay until the vote so their beliefs could win. The Dred Scott case was involved in this realm. Dread Scott was a slave who traveled to a free state from a slave state. The problem of this is whether or not he is still a slave, so Dred Scott took this to court. The court argued that his master owns him and he is his property, which made Northerners
