Sandford is misspelled in the Supreme Court documents; the proper spelling is Sanford, without a d. This cannot be corrected, however.

Dred Scott v. Sandford,* 60 US 393 (1857)*Sandford is misspelled in the court documents; the respondent's real last name was Sanford.
The Supreme Court's decision in Dred Scott v. Sandford (1857) ruled against Dred Scott, an enslaved African American man who sought his freedom. The Court held that Scott had no standing to sue because he was not considered a citizen under the Constitution and that Congress lacked the authority to regulate slavery in the territories. This ruling effectively upheld the institution of slavery and intensified national tensions leading up to the Civil War.
