Abolitionists were upset with the Dred Scott decision because it effectively denied the legal status of enslaved people as U.S. citizens and ruled that Congress had no authority to prohibit slavery in federal territories.

Ultimately, the ruling galvanized the abolitionist movement and heightened tensions leading up to the Civil War.

He feared it would deepen the divisions between the North and South, escalating tensions that could lead to conflict.
