I dont give a care bout dis stuff plus the union meant nothing to the northerners
The Union
Southerners favored the annexation of Texas, but Northerners objected that Texas would add another slave state to the Union.
White Southerners were delighted - it meant that slavery was legal in every state of the Union. Those white Northerners who were Abolitionists were horrified, on account of the same verdict. Other white Northerners were simply alarmed that it was driving the two sides further apart, and bringing war closer. African-Americans were, of course, not being consulted much. Some of them may have wondered why Scott did not claim his freedom earlier, when it would have been granted automatically.
Because they regarded the Union as sacred - also they didn't want to lose the cotton revenues.

They fought for the preservation of the Union and were known as Yankees.
Some Northerners opposed allowing African Americans to fight as soldiers due to prevailing racial prejudices and the belief that they lacked the capability or bravery to serve effectively in combat. Additionally, there were fears that their enlistment would lead to social upheaval or competition for jobs in a post-war society. Furthermore, some Northerners believed that the fight for the Union should primarily involve white soldiers, reflecting a broader reluctance to fully embrace African Americans as equals in society.
