This was taking place during the same time that the Missouri Compromise was taking place. If a slave was taken from a Missouri, a slave state, into Kansas, a free state there was the question of whether or not the slave was now considered a free man. That is why Missouri and Kansas were originally entered into the Union as one, to prevent either the North or the South from having an advantage over the other. There were supposed to an equal amount of both northern and southern states in the Union, both slave states and free states. These were the sentiments that people, chiefly white southerners were having during the time that Dred Scott decision was taking place. They were worried that the Northern states in the Union had more of an advantage in the Union even after the Missouri Compromise, when new boundaries were set between free and slave states. So, after the Dred Scott decision that upheld the law "once a slace, always a slave," I believe white southerners were overjoyed with this decision, and determined to do more to secure their place in the Union, and ensure that their ideas became laws.

What were the challenges posed to white Southerners white Northerners and African Americans by the outcome of the Dred Scott Decision?
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.
