What role did the West play in crucial issues of the period as the tariff internal improvements and the expansion of slavery?
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.
How did the south view the expansion west?
With great misgivings, as they saw the expansion to the West as an effort by the northern States to create new abolitionist States there that would finally together with the North outnumber them and force them to abolish slavery.
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.
