Slave owners largely welcomed the Dred Scott decision, viewing it as a validation of their rights and a reinforcement of the institution of slavery. The Supreme Court's ruling, which stated that African Americans could not be considered citizens and that Congress had no authority to prohibit slavery in the territories, galvanized pro-slavery sentiments and emboldened slaveholders.
