To understand what was going on in the Dred Scott decision, I highly recommend "Dred Scott, The Inside story" by David T. Hardy. Here is a link to a review I wrote about it.

Does it say it was a fake, ginned up drama to create a political win for the Republicans?

Yes, Dred Scott was owned by a Republican representative in Massachusetts, one of the most trouble stirring states in the history of the nation. It's those d@mn Puritans and their need to impose *THEIR* morality on everyone else.

The Dred Scott incident was fabricated just to stir up trouble.

Thanks for your link, I read your review.

Clearly, a key link in the chain of our Lost Causers' "logic" is the claim that Crazy Roger's Dred Scott opinions represented a valid interpretation of our Founders' Original Intentions.
They didn't, certainly not our Northern Founders, nor have I ever seen quotes from Southern Founders which confirm that their views in any way matched Crazy Rogers' Dred Scott ruminations.
