The Dred Scott versus Sandford ruling also called the Dred Scott Decision, help to regulate and spread the effects of slavery faster because it said that as slaves these people were not really citizens and as such had no rights to sue anyone. The law went on to say that the government had no way to enforce any rulings to stop slavery in states or areas that were created before the states became unified.

What were the reactions to the dred Scott decision?
Republicans were, of course, quite distressed, seeing this as meaning they COULD not prevent the spread of slavery. More than that, they feared the Court would soon, by the same logic, find it impossible for any STATE to bar slavery in its own midst. (At the same time, they argued that, since the court's decision had begun by saying Scott had no "standing" to bring the case, that anything they said AFTER that was not binding, because these other things were not needed to come to that basic decision.)
