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.
