1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. A states right justice By Jean “Life of Roger Brooke Taney: Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court” by Bernard Christian Steiner was published in 1922. I read this as an e-book and I found a formatting error quite annoying. The footnotes are scattered throughout the page and the numerical numbers of the index are large size in the text. I am unsure how they put the book into digital format whether by scanning or transcribing but it does make reading the book difficult. The writing style is old fashion and I think some of the sentences were a direct quote from even much older biographies or documents and the style even more old fashion.Roger Brook Taney (1877-1864) was the fifth Chief Justice of the Supreme Court (1836-1864) He was the eleventh United States Attorney General (1831-1833) and was also Secretary of the Treasury from 1833 -1834. Taney was a Jacksonian Democrat; he was a believer in State-Rights but also of the Union. Taney was slaveholder who manumitted his slaves. Taney was the first Catholic appointed to the Supreme Court. Taney was born in Maryland the second son of seven children. According to tradition of the time the plantation would go to the eldest son. Therefore Taney father told him to get an education to be able to support himself. Taney graduated from Dickinson College. He read the law and was admitted to the bar in 1799. He quickly became one of Maryland’s most promising lawyers. Taney’s law partner was Francis Scott Keyes, and he married Keyes sister. He was elected a State Senator in 1815 serving until 1821. He was elected Attorney General of Maryland but resigned in 1831 to become acting U. S. Secretary of war. He was then appointed as Attorney General of the United States by President Jackson. As A.G. he supported South Carolina’s law prohibiting Free Blacks from entering the State. When he became Secretary of the Treasury he ordered an end to the deposit of Federal money in the Second Bank of the United States, an act which killed the institution.As Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court he followed President Jackson’s philosophy of favoring the power of the State. This is the opposite of John Marshall who had supported a broad role for the federal government in areas of economic regulation. The Taney Court presided over the case of slaves who had taken the Spanish Schooner Amistad. The attorney representing the slaves was John Quincy Adams. Adams won. In Prigg v Pennsylvania 1842 the Taney Court imposed a positive duty on states to enforce federal fugitive slave laws. Taney argued constitutional guarantee of slave holders rights to ownership. The most famous case heard by the Taney Court was the Dred Scott v Sanford case (1857). Taney decision is considered to have indirectly been a cause of the Civil war. He declared the 1820 Missouri Compromise unconstitutional and the pro-slavery ruling that deemed blacks were not citizens of the United States nor could be.President Jackson appointed 6 justices to the Supreme Court and 18 Judges to the United States District Courts. In 1863 the number of Justices of the Supreme Court was increased to nine. In his role as Chief Justice Taney administered the Oath of Office to President Abraham Lincoln. According to the author at the end of Taney’s life he was despised by both the North and the South. He died October 13, 1864 at the age of 87. He had served 28 years as the 5th Chief Justice. Steiner points out that modern legal scholars have tended to state Taney was an outstanding jurist and a competent judicial administrator but the Dred Scott decision and his standing on slavery has tainted his legacy. There is a statue of Taney standing on the grounds of the Maryland State House. You can visit the “Taney Place” in Adelina, Calvert County Maryland. I watched the Little League World Series games from Williamsport Pa. (August 2014) and noted the team from Philadelphia was called Taney. They named the team from the street in front of the park they played baseball in. The street was named after Roger Taney. I also noted that most of the players were black and the team that knocked them out of running for the championship was an all black team from Chicago. I would also guess that most of the kids and their parents are citizens of the United States. I read this as an e-book via my Kindle app for my iPad.
