No. The decision outraged abolitionists, but abolitionists were only a very, very small percentage of the northern (and southern) population. Most people could not possibly have cared less about the fate of a single slave, or of any number of slaves. Do you get all worked up and want to go to war when the Court decides a case in a way you feel is unjust to one of the parties? Neither did people back then.
