Upon coming to Missouri, Dred Scott appealed for his freedom from slavery, insisting that his residence in non-slavery territory gave him free. As the case reached the Supreme Court, the tension further increases between North and South. Since the 1820s, two parties had compromised on the issue of slavery's expansion (the Missouri Compromise). The North was not happy with the court decision as they believed the case gave Southern slaveholders growing power. The Southerners pleased as they believed the North had no right to interfere with matters related to slavery.
