After the Missouri Compromise of 1820, Americans were deeply divided over the issue of slavery. The compromise, which allowed Missouri to enter the Union as a slave state while Maine entered as a free state, temporarily eased tensions but highlighted the growing sectional divide. Many in the North increasingly opposed the expansion of slavery, viewing it as morally wrong, while Southern supporters of slavery saw it as essential to their economy and way of life. This growing polarization set the stage for further conflicts leading up to the Civil War.

What effect did the Dred Scott Supreme Court case have on Dred Scott's freddom and on the Missouri Compromise?
Scott didn't win his freedom and the decision reinforced the idea that slaves were property. The Missouri Compromise was a blow to the southern states to gain more slave states. I don't think the Scott decision added anything to the compromise, but it did entrench slavery in the states where it existed.
