Summarize Dred Scott Decision.
When the Supreme Court met to discuss Scott vs. Sanford case. The Chief Justice Roger B. Taney was chosen by the court to write the majority of the court. Initially, the court supported Sanford and did not take into consideration the Missouri Compromise of the issues that dealt with black citizenship. But when Taney was chosen, both of these factors were accounted for. James Bachanan got in contact with some of his friends in the Supreme Court to find out the status of case, so he could talk about it in his inauguration. When he found out he used the speech to support the decision that was made by the court. He first talked about black citizenship not only for slaves but for free black me. He states that they are not a citizen whether they are free or not. Therefore, Scott could not sue in the federal court He continued on with the constitutionally of the Missouri Compromise saying that America got from France from the Louisiana Purchase. He continued by announcing that the Missouri Compromise was unconstitutional. Scott had one last chance if Taney said he was free because he was staying in a free state. Taney dismissed the cast and sent it back to the lower court where he told them to do the same thing which upheld the Missouri Compromise and the Supreme Court had ruled in the favor of Sanford.
