Taney was the Chief Justice who declared that slavery was legal in every state of the Union - greatly deepening the divide between the two sections.
He said he was interpreting the Constitution in the way that the Founding Fathers would have meant. So when they decreed that a man's property was sacred, they would have included slaves within their definition of property.
Ironically, Taney had been an Abolitionist as a young man. But he was very old by the time of this court-case.
