The effect of Dread Scott case decision was it incited further sectionalism in the country.

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

Dred Scott was a slave owned by John Emerson of Missouri. In 1843, Scott sued for his freedom in a Missouri court, claiming that his temporary residency in the "free" Louisiana territory had automatically made him a free man.

In 1850, the state court ruled that Scott was a free man, but in 1852, the Missouri reversed the decision. Dred Scott was the most controversial and immensely criticized case in the supreme court's history. The Dread Scott case fooled the political situation of the county then and led America to civil war.
