The opinion in Dred Scott v. Sandford denied citizenship rights to Black people despite their forced presence in the United States.
Chief Justice Roger Taney's opinion in Dred Scott v. Sandford declared that Blacks could not be citizens of the United States, denying them rights and privileges under the Constitution.
In response to Taney's claim, a counterclaim could be that his argument that Blacks were not citizens is false because their ancestors were forced to come to the United States.
This ruling further exemplified the prejudices and injustices faced by African Americans during that time.
