The Dred Scott case did not settle the slavery issue - it unsettled it. The South interpreted it as a licence to travel in the North with their slaves, and possibly re-introduce slavery into free soil. The North was thrown into confusion at the Supreme Court's suggestion that there was no such thing as free soil, because slavery was protected by the Constitution. It caused furious disputes, including the Lincoln-Douglas debates, which drew slavery to the attention of people not previously concerned with it.
The Dred Scott Supreme Court case had a profound effect on both Dred Scott's quest for freedom and the political landscape regarding slavery in the United States. The Court ruled that Scott, as an enslaved person, was not a citizen and therefore had no right to sue for his freedom, effectively denying him and others like him any legal recourse. Additionally, the decision invalidated the Missouri Compromise by declaring that Congress had no power to prohibit slavery in the territories, exacerbating tensions between free and slave states and contributing to the onset of the Civil War.
In the 1857 US Supreme Court decision that involved the Dredd Scott case, the Court stated the slaves were property and, also, they could never be US citizens. This pro-slavery decision would later require an amendment to the US Constitution in order to abolish slavery.
