What did Dred Scott claim John Sanford did to him and his family?
First of all, John Sandford was not the original defendant in the case. The original defendant was Irene Emerson, Dred Scott's owner. John Sandford was Irene Emerson's brother, and acted on her behalf. As such, Dred Scott never claimed that John Sandford did anything to his family. Now as far as Irene Emerson goes, Dred Scott claimed that she was harming him and his family by not allowing them to be free, in violation of the Missouri Compromise. Scott's claim was that since he had lived in free states (namely, Illinois and Wisconsin Territory) where the Missouri Compromise outlawed slavery, that should have made him free.

Who was sandford in the dred Scott v sandford case?
John Sanford, defendant in the landmark case Scott v. Sanford, (1857), was brother of Dr. Emerson's widow, Irene Emerson (Chaffee), and executor of Dr. John Emerson's estate.ExplanationDr. Emerson was a military physician who purchased Dred Scott from Peter Blow sometime around 1832. Emerson later met and married Eliza Irene Sanford (called Irene) in 1841, while stationed at a military post in Louisiana. When Emerson died in 1843, "ownership" of Dred Scott and his family passed to his widow, Irene.Dred and Harriet Scott originally sued Irene Emerson for their freedom in St. Louis County Circuit Court in July 1847. Irene later moved to Springfield, Massachusetts, leaving her brother, John Sanford in charge of the ongoing legal battle.Although Chief Justice Taney described John Sanford as the Scotts' owner, this appears to be either a misunderstanding, or a misrepresentation initiated by Sanford and/or his legal team.In 1857, the year the Supreme Court ruled on the Scott v. Sanford case, Irene Emerson married Dr. Chaffee, an abolitionist and US Senator who was completely unaware that his wife owned the most famous slave in the United States. Chaffee discovered his wife owned the Scott family shortly before the Court delivered its verdict.When Dred Scott lost, Chaffee arranged for ownership to be transferred from Irene to Taylor Blow (son Peter Blow), who emancipated the family in May 1857. Chaffee's involvement in the transfer tends to support the idea that Sanford had no legal claim to the Scott family, and only had standing in Court by virtue of his status as executor.Court Citation:Dred Scott v. Sandford*, 60 US 393 (1857)* Proper spelling of the last name is Sanford, not Sandford. The Court made a clerical error that survived to the printed edition of United States Reports, the official government reporter of Supreme Court decisions, and therefore cannot be corrected.
