Was the dred Scott decision proslavery?
Yep. The Dred Scott decision was all about how Dred Scott went with his slave owner up to a "free state" and stayed long enough to, technically, be free. He turned this into a court case and took it to the Supreme Court. They decided that he could never become a citizen because of his race, and could, therefore, never sue in court. The court justices thought in theory that slavery was protected by the constitution. (which it is absolutely not!) I hope this clears it up :]

Why did the kansas nebraska act and the dred Scott decision anger those who appose slavery?
When the US Congress passed the Kansas-Nebraska Act, it angered antislavery groups because they believed it would expand the institution of slavery in new States and Territories. That was because political leaders such as Senator Stephen Douglas and others believed in what was called popular sovereignty. This called for a vote among citizens as to whether slavery would be allowed in a given territory or State. The pro-slavery movement from the South was strong, thus abolitionists were concerned about the spread of this institution. The Dred Scott case was decided by the US Supreme Court. It was a long written decision that basically stated the slaves were property and that slavery was legal under the US Constitution. This was a blow to the antislavery movement.
What group was benefited most by dred Scott decision?
Southerners benefited the most from the Dred Scott Decision.
How was the dred Scott decision good?
The direct answer to the question is that the Dred Scott decision was good for slave owners. In a larger sense it was not good at all. The decision by the US Supreme Court was more important to the United States than it was to slave holder Dred Scott. This was so because in an 1857 Supreme Court decision, slaves in the United States, whether in bondage or freed men & women, could never be US citizens. This decision was a setback for the antislavery abolitionists and a victory of sorts for slave owners. Taken in its totality it was a setback for the United States as a whole. The above answer is correct, however, if there was "good" in the Dredd Scott decision it was that the US Supreme Court made it clear what its position on slavery was. Thereby giving opponents of slavery ground to stand on in their efforts to limit or abolish slavery.
