for them to have more fish in there lives.
They were unhappy about the death of Dred Scott and John Brown.
White Southerners were delighted - it meant that slavery was legal in every state of the Union. Those white Northerners who were Abolitionists were horrified, on account of the same verdict. Other white Northerners were simply alarmed that it was driving the two sides further apart, and bringing war closer. African-Americans were, of course, not being consulted much. Some of them may have wondered why Scott did not claim his freedom earlier, when it would have been granted automatically.
It greatly angered the Abolitionists - remembering that most Northerners were not Abolitionists by any means.
Loved it. The verdict made slavery legal in every state of the Union.

The Dred Scott decision declared the Missouri Compromise unconstitutional and ruled that slaves were property. The decision did not necessarily alarm most people in the North.

While the Dred Scott decision, which ruled a slave as property could accompany his master to a free state yet still remain a slave pleased southerners, it greatly agitated northerners. The Raid on Harperâ??s Ferry by radical abolitionist, John Brown inflamed southerners. The two incidents drew sharp divisions between the north and south and paved the way to the American Civil War.
It appeared to mean that slavery was protected by the Constitution, and could not be banned from any state of the Union.
Many Southerners were pleased by the Dred Scott case decision because it upheld the rights of slave owners by ruling that slaves were property and not citizens, which meant they could be taken into any territory in the United States. This decision supported the expansion of slavery and protected the economic interests of slave owners in the South.
They were not prepared for the courts desicion, and they were shocked and oposed it because they wanted to choose if they were a free state or a slave state. The court decided that dred Scott was not free and he was African American so he was not a citizen and could not sue. When they lived lived in free stated they were not actually pronounced "free". southerners were okay with it but northerners were upset and shocked because they wanted to fight for freedom of slaves. Abe Lincoln spoke out for the slaves.
