The main point of this excerpt is that African-Americans were not considered US citizens.

In the Supreme Court case Dred Scott vs. Sandford, Scott is suing for his freedom from slavery. This is because his master brought him to the Wisconsin territory, a territory where slavery was outlawed.

Since they were not considered citizens, they had no legal rights that slave owners had to respect.
