Don E. Fehrenbacher, The Dred Scott Case: Its Significance in American Law and Politics" (1978)
Just to let you know I’ve been reading the arguments in Dred Scott with great interest. While it seems that Blair put stock in the legal principle that asoldier took the domicile of the state where he is stationed, Blair could not easily make that argument today. Soldiers assigned to military posts are allowed to keep home state driver’s licenses and retain voting registration in their home states, which along with payment of primary taxes are the main iincidents of domicile.
