Option: Slavery might become legal everywhere.

Explanation:

Dred Scott v. Sandford was a court case filed by Dred Scott for his freedom from slavery. The case reached the Supreme Court, which increased the tension further between North and South. Since the 1820s, the North and the South have declared their position related to slavery, which led to the Missouri Compromise. The North was not happy with the court decision as they believed the case gave Southern slaveholders growing power. They also feared that slavery might become legal in America. Southerners were satisfied as they believed the North had no right to interfere with matters related to slavery.
