(B) It denied Congress the power to abolish slavery in the territories.

Dred Scott v. Sanford is a case where an African American slave named Dred Scott argued that since he was a Missouri slave who traveled to a free state, on his return, he should be a free man.
The Chief Justice at the time disagreed, based on the current constitution of the United States, and in response declared that a slave is not entitled to its freedom, whether it lives in free or slavery states. By stating that abolishing slavery is unconstitutional, the U.S Congress deems that there is no 'free state' to the outrage of the population. This was the status quo until the constitution was amended to include the abolishment of slavery.

Answer:
(A) It decreased the likelihood that European countries would help the Confederacy.
(B) It gave African Americans the right to fight in the war.
Explanation:
European countries (Britain, France) entertained the possibility of helping the Confederacy during the war, although it never sent troops to support the Confederacy Army. Their desire for the Confederacy to win was underpinned by their interest in keeping slavery legal.
Britain sold ships to the confederacy, although trades between them dropped during the war. France never sent any aid, although the government at the time (Napoleon III) preferred that the Confederacy won.
The Emancipation Proclamation, which deemed that the slavery is illegal and thus every slave under any states are now free, helped in bringing more than 200,000 African-Americans into the Union Army.
