Taney led the U.S. Supreme Court as Chief Justice in the Dred Scott decision.
Dred Scott
The name of the slave that sued for his freedom in the Dred Scott vs Sandford case, was Dred Scott. He tried unsuccessfully to sue for the freedom of himself, his wife and their two daughters.
Scott argued he was a free man because he lived where slavery was illegal. He wasn't a free man for two reasons. One, Scott has no right to sue a federal government court because African Americans were not citizens. Two, Taney, said; merely living in free territory did not make an enslaved person free.
