    The judgment of the Supreme Court allowing the slave owners to take slaves to the west as the final decision in the Dred Scott case made it a significant one in American history.

    Explanation:

    In 1857, the Supreme Court passed a judgment enabling the contemporary slave owner to take their slaves with them to the new lands offered to them in the west.

    Initially, it was termed illegitimate to take slaves to the west, but with the decision of the Supreme Court, taking slaves and practicing slavery in the west became legal.
