They embraced the decision. It verified their view of a slave society.
they turned a blind eye to it especially in the years leading up to the civil war. when slaves escaped from the South the North allowed the slave owners to come into the North and take them back. yes they thought it was wrong and an underlying problem but until Abe came along nothing was really done to prevent it
The South was sensitive to the growing influence of the Abolitionist movement and the increasing difficulty of bring new territories into the USA as slave-states. Their morale was raised by a couple of false dawns. First, a new Fugitive Slave Act had been introduced in exchange for California being admitted as free soil. The South did not realise how unpopular these official slave-catchers would be, and 'Uncle Tom's Cabin' was written as an immediate protest against the Act. Second, an ageing Chief Justice ruled that under the Constitution a man's property was sacred, and slaves were property. This appeared to mean that no state could declare itself to be free soil, and again the South took heart. But again, it caused outrage in the North, and brought war a step closer. There had also been the well-meant attempt to put the slavery issue to a local vote when new states were coming up for admission to the USA. Both sides hoped for an orderly result. But what they got was widespread intimidation of voters and much bloodshed, demonstrating all too clearly that the issue could not be resolved through lawful processes, but only through violence.

The Fugitive Slave Act forced those who lived in northern states or any who supported abolition, to send runaway slaves back to their owners in an effort to maintain peace between the north and south. So the view of the southerners was that the act MUST be enforced and their slaves returned to them.
President Lincoln stated that in his view, secession was unconstitutional. He vowed to protect Federal property and added he would enforce the Fugitive Slave Act. Lincoln did all he could to prevent and bring back to the Union secessionist states.
Necessary to develop their manufacturing industry. But under possible threat, if the Northern majority in Congress was eroded by new slave-states joining the Union.
