Frederick Douglass vehemently opposed the Dred Scott ruling, which denied citizenship and constitutional rights to African Americans. He viewed the Supreme Court's decision as a grave injustice that perpetuated the institution of slavery and undermined the ideals of freedom and equality. Douglass argued that the ruling was not only a setback for African Americans but also a betrayal of the principles upon which the nation was founded. He called for resistance and activism in the fight for civil rights and justice.
The last name Douglass is of Scottish origin, derived from the Gaelic name "Dubhghlas" meaning "dark river." It is generally believed to be a habitational name, referring to various places named Douglass in Scotland. Prominent historical figure Frederick Douglass adopted this surname after escaping from slavery in the United States.

Frederick Douglass believed that slavery was inherently unjust and dehumanizing, advocating for its abolition and equality for all individuals regardless of race. In contrast, Chief Justice Roger Taney's views in the Dred Scott decision of 1857 upheld the legality of slavery and denied African Americans citizenship rights, deeming them inferior to whites and perpetuating the institution of slavery. Taney's views reinforced systemic racism, while Douglass's sought to dismantle it.
