As the United States expanded west, new territories had to decide whether to allow slavery. This caused conflict between the North and South which led to increase tension and violence.

As new land was added, slavery automatically spread across all territories without debate. This led to economic prosperity and more tax revenue for the federal government.

They strongly supported slavery and wanted to expand it into their own lands.
