Best Answer

Most citizens of the American West were relatively ambivalent about the issue, but since much of the West was too far North to have massive cotton plantations, the West did not have many slaves. As a result, they did not fight to prevent anti-slavery or pro-slavery laws and typically served as a mediating influence between the North and the South.

The south was pro-slavery. This was one of the reason why the south broke away from the Union. They were afraid that Lincoln would stop the spread of slavery.
