The Dred Scott verdict widened the divisions between North and South.

The South was delighted to hear that slavery was legal in every state of the Union, because of the Supreme Court's interpretation of the word 'property' in the Constitution.

The Northern abolitionists - still a small minority, but highly influential - were outraged at this suggestion.
