In 1846, slave Dred Scott sued his master, Irene Emerson, for the freedom of himself and his family. Tragically, the Supreme Court ruled that Scott was still a slave and that Africans in the United States could never be US citizens. While the South was alright with this decision, Northern Republicans were outraged. It only served to fuel the fire that eventually lead to emancipation.

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.

Why did the Dred Scott decision strengthen Northern suspicions about a slave power conspiracy?
Chief Justice Rodger B. Taney's ruling in The Dred Scott case stated that slaves could not legally claim violation of his constitutional rights because he has none because slaves were not considered citizens of the United States. Furthermore, he stated that Blacks were an inferior race and had "...no rights to which the white man was bound to respect." Because the Dred Scott decision was such a racist pro-southern one, this caused many Northerners to believe that the courts were corrupt and therefor lacked the power to serve justice. The US Supreme Court decision, by itself however, did not point to a slave power conspiracy. And it should be noted that the general uproar was generated by Northern abolitionists, not the ordinary Northern citizen.
