About the Author:
For decades, the Taney Court's pro-slavery decision in the Dred Scott case tarnished its reputation among historians. It was only during the first half of the 20th century that the court received due credit for its important accomplishments in commerce, contracts, the protection of civil liberties, and defining the scope of presidential power.
Timothy S. Huebner is L. Palmer Brown Professor and Chair of the Department of History at Rhodes College in Memphis, Tennessee. He is the author of The Southern Judicial Tradition: State Judges and Sectional Distinctiveness, 1790-1890 and co-editor (with Kermit L. Hall) of Major Problems in American Constitutional History, second edition.

Book Description Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. 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. An exploration of the U.S. Supreme Court during an era of dramatic sectionalism, slavery, and the Civil War.
