The correct response is: It made slavery legal in the territories.
The Dred Scott v. Sandford decision angered many Northerners because it effectively ruled that Congress did not have the authority to prohibit slavery in the territories, thereby extending the possibility of slavery into areas that had been free. This was seen as a significant setback for the anti-slavery movement and heightened tensions between the North and South.
