The Dred Scott Decision helped lead to the Civil War because it caused fighting between the North and South. The North was angry because people in the north had decided not to allow slavery in their states, and the Dred Scott decision allowed slaves to be brought into their states. The Dred Scott decision basically said that if a slave was brought to a free state they were still a slave because they were property. so even a free state wasn't really free. Most southerners were happy with the decision because it allowed them to take slaves with them to free states and territories and reinforced the idea that slaves had no rights as U.S. citizens. Dred Scott's case caused more trouble between the North and South.
It was the Supreme Court's verdict in refusing freedom to the slave Dred Scott. The reasons given were that slavery was protected by the Constitution in the spirit in which the Founding Fathers defined a man's 'property' - i.e. it included slaves as a form of property.
