Why would southern political leaders praise the supreme court decision in dred Scott v sanford in 1857?
Because the court had sensationally ruled that slavery was legal in every state of the Union. They had decided to interpret the Constitution in the way that the Founding Fathers would have done. When they declared that a man's property was sacred, they would have included slaves within their definition of property.
