What was the significance of the dread Scott decision and john browns raid on harpers ferry?

The Dred Scott decision alarmed the North, because it appeared to mean that slavery was protected by the Constitution, and that no state could declare itself to be free soil.
The John Brown raid alarmed the South, because it looked as though the Abolitionists were planning to arm the slaves and provoke a full-scale rebellion.
Together, these two incidents drove the two sides further apart, and raised the temperature of the debate.

How did Scott decision john brown's raid on Harpers's ferry and the election of Abraham Lincoln as president lead to the secession of the south?
These were the events that fatally heated-up the slavery debate. The Scott decision (the Supreme Court ruling that slavery was protected by the Constitution) delighted the South as much as it inflamed the Abolitionists. Harpers Ferry convinced the South that the Abolitionists were planning to distribute arms to the slaves to provoke a nationwide rebellion. Lincoln's election meant that there would be no more slave-states, so the South would always be out-voted in Congress, which would pass laws unfavourable to Southern interests. There was going to be war.
