His application for freedom was refused.

It was the grounds for refusal that caused the controversy.

The Supreme Court decided that the Constitutional ruling that a man's property was sacred should be interpreted as the Founding Fathers would have meant it - i.e. slaves to be classified as property. Also the Court declared that a black man could not be a citizen of the USA.

These were startling announcements that drove the two sections further apart than ever.

How did Dred Scott CASE affect the civil war?

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.
