Detailed explanation-1: -The public generally reacted to the Supreme Court’s ruling on Scott v. Sandford in that “people in the south welcome the decision while people in the North feared.” We are talking about the Supreme Court case Dred Scott v. Sandford decided on March 6, 1857.
Detailed explanation-2: -The opinion of Chief Justice Roger B. Taney further declared African Americans were not and could never be citizens of the United States.
