The US Supreme Court, lead by Chief Justice Roger B. Taney, rejected the idea that slaves could be citizens of either their state residence or the United States. According to the Court, slaves were the property of their owners, which suggested they were less than human. As a result, African-Americans lacked standing to sue for their freedom.
