In Dred Scott v. Sandford, an African-American slave named Dred - TopicsExpress

In Dred Scott v. Sandford, an African-American slave named Dred Scott had appealed to the Supreme Court in hopes of being granted his freedom based on his having been brought by his masters to live in free territories. The Taney Court ruled that persons of African descent could not be, nor were ever intended to be, citizens under the U.S. Constitution, and thus the plaintiff (Scott) was without legal standing to file a suit. The framers of the Constitution, Taney famously wrote, believed that blacks had no rights which the white man was bound to respect; and that the negro might justly and lawfully be reduced to slavery for his benefit. He was bought and sold and treated as an ordinary article of merchandise and traffic, whenever profit could be made by it.[4] The court also declared the Missouri Compromise (1820) unconstitutional, thus permitting slavery in all of the countrys territories. Taney died during the final months of the American Civil War on the same day that his home state of Maryland abolished slavery.
