All of the above are correct. The Dred Scott v. Sandford decision angered Northerners because it made slavery legal in the territories, allowed for the expansion of slavery into the North, and continued the series of compromises on slavery. Additionally, the decision also created popular sovereignty as the rule for all territories, which meant that the residents of a territory could decide whether or not to allow slavery. This was seen as a setback for those who were against the spread of slavery.
