Manifest destiny started the dispute over the spread of slavery. Since before the Mexican-American War the states had argued about annexing new territory because of the spread of slavery. Also, this is more of a underlying factor and a personal opinion, I think that the northern population wanted to preserve the union so badly because the media had been perching manifest destiny for so long people didn't realize how bloodily and costly expansion could be. Many Americans were wrapped up in the success the US had had expanding to the west so they didn't really understand the true costs of war.
