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. The decision of the Supreme Court was that the African American Dred Scott was not considered to be a citizen of the United States because he was a black slave. So he had no right to appeal to the US Constitution for protection. He was not considered a person, he was considered property. People in the north feared and disagreed with the decision. They supported abolitionism while southerners supported slavery because their economy depended so much on slaves.
