1857.
Dred Scott v. Sandford was a landmark Supreme Court case in 1857 where the Court ruled that African Americans, whether enslaved or free, were not considered citizens and thus could not sue in federal court. This decision further exacerbated tensions over slavery in the United States and is widely considered one of the worst decisions in Supreme Court history.
The chief justice in the Dred Scott case was Roger B. Taney.
Dred Scott
Roger B. Taney was the Chief Justice of the United States during the Dred Scott v. Sandford case. He delivered the majority opinion in the case, which ruled against Dred Scott's petition for freedom.
The ruling in the Dred Scott case allowed slave owners to take their slaves with them into the Western territories of the United States.
Dredd Scott and the anti abolitionists who supported him believed they had a good case. It was settled for that period of time by the US Supreme Court. Nevertheless, slavery was wrong and abolished.

1857
Based on the 1857 decision of the US Supreme Court, Dredd Scott, clearly escaped to a state where slavery had been abolished long ago, it did not change the US Constitution on this issue. Sadly, Scott was stuck in two ways. One could charge that Scott was a runaway slave and was thus subject to the Fugitive Slave Act of 1850, or as the Court claimed, slaves were either:A. Property; or B. Not qualified as a citizen thus disqualifying him to use the US court system to appeal his case.
In the 1857 US Supreme Court decision that involved the Dredd Scott case, the Court stated the slaves were property and, also, they could never be US citizens. This pro-slavery decision would later require an amendment to the US Constitution in order to abolish slavery.
