An exploration of the U.S. Supreme Court during an era of dramatic
sectionalism, slavery, and the Civil War. The Taney Court:
Justices, Rulings, and Legacy presents an in-depth analysis of the
decisions and impact of the U.S. Supreme Court during the
three-decade tenure of Roger B. Taney, one of the most important
chief justices in U.S. history. A careful analysis of landmark
decisions such as Dred Scott v. Sandford, Charles River Bridge v.
Warren Bridge, and Prigg v. Pennsylvania shows how the court
interpreted issues of commerce, contracts, slavery, and separation
of powers, and how, despite its perception as being pro-states
rights, it actually expanded federal judicial power. Profiles of
the 20 justices who served on the Taney Court place a special
emphasis on those who made the most significant impact, including
Taney, Joseph Story, Benjamin Curtis, and John A. Campbell.
