The Supreme Court's decision in the Dred Scott v. Sandford case found that African Americans who were held as slaves were not protected under the Constitution, and therefore could not become citizens or sue in court.
This decision obviously angered those who opposed slavery because it took away the opportunity for African Americans to preserve their fundamental rights for quite some time. It seemed as if the courts were on the side of the slave states and were on their way to making the prohibition of slavery by the state unconstitutional.
However, it is important to note that not everyone was outraged; those in favor of slavery felt that this was an important victory. They felt that their right to own slaves was being protected, and because the courts were not taking away this right, the union could be preserved.
