slavery and the industry
trick question it united them
It was not as accepted in the north, and was not as important in the economy, as for the south, without slavery there economy would fail.
The issue of slavery.
The issue of slavery split the party. "Conscience Whigs" in the North favored the abolition of slavery and halting the institution's spread into new territories. The "Cotton Whigs" in the South took the opposite viewpoints

The South looked at slavery as an economic issue. The North viewed slavery as a moral issue. In the North, slavery was proving to be unprofitable in the North and was dying out by the end of the American Revolution, but in the South white Southerners were increasingly more defensive of slavery.

It prohibited slavery North of a certain parallel, but only in the territories brought in under the Louisiana Purchase. When the new Mexican territories came in, they needed a new compromise. That one did not hold.
The issue that the North and South fought over was called the Wilmot Proviso. It was basically a law of slavery: the North and South were fighting over slavery. The North were anti-slavery and the South were pro-slavery
The North had opposed the extension of slavery because they didn't want the 'inhumane' segregation to spread the the newer joining territories/states. And they couldn't have yet attempted to abolish slavery all together at that point because the segregation force was too large and powerful. So they hoped to only turn new territories/states anti-slavery. Slavery was one issue, equal rights was another issue. So to say that Northerners did not like segregation is not true. Segregation existed in the North and the USA as a whole for decades after the Civil War.
The Missouri Compromise primarily involved the regulation of slavery in the western territories. It prohibited slavery in the former Louisiana Territory north of the parallel 36°30′ north except within the boundaries of the proposed state of Missouri.

There was this tension, because the territories claimed by the South became slave territories and the territories claimed by the North became free territories. The North wanted no slavery and the South wanted slaves. So, the North and south raced to get as much land as possible to cause the other direction ( N. or S. ) to submit into slavery or no slavery
