The West played a major role in the crucial issues of this American period. The tariff protected industries from the British surplus goods and helped transfer goods from the west to the east. The West expansion contributed to internal improvements with the construction of roads. It also helped interstate trade, which would be protected by the tariff. With the topic of slave expansion, the West broadened the admission into the new states, whether they were a slave or free state.

What role did slavery play in westward expansions?

Slavery played a significant role in westward expansion in the United States. The expansion of slavery into new territories and states fueled sectional tensions between the North and South, eventually leading to the American Civil War. The issue of whether new states would allow or prohibit slavery was a major factor in determining the balance of power between the free and slave states, and ultimately the course of westward expansion.

The extension of slavery was not caused by the Civil War; rather, the Civil War was a consequence of the deepening divide over slavery's expansion into new territories and states.

Ultimately, the conflict over slavery's role in American society contributed to the outbreak of the Civil War in 1861.


How was the issue of slavery decided in the western states?

The expansion of the United States westward into newly acquired Mexican territories and other western territories caused a lot of controversy. The Mason-Dixon line was still the rule, but the controversy was when California, due to its climate where cotton and tobacco were unable to grow, entered the union as a free state, as slavery was unnecessary. The controversy was attempted to be put to rest by California agreeing to always having a pro-Slavery senator as to not have an anti-Slavery majority in the Senate. See the related link.
