Respuesta :

The answer is c. :)

The correct answer is C) The decision can be considered a victory for southern pro-slavery factions.

The Dred Scott vs. Sandford decision ruled that slaves are not considered people, rather they are property of their owners.  This meant slave owners could travel all over the United States while maintaining possession of their slaves. This essentially made slavery legal everywhere. This upset Northern politicians who were against the institution of slavery but made the pro-slavery faction extremely happy.
