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.

Who wanted to allow slavery in the western territories.?
John Calhoun of South Carolina (the 7th Vice President of the US) was among the Southerners who resisted Northern efforts to introduce abolitionist laws in Congress. He died in 1850, just as the anti-slavery movement was growing. The Southerners wanted slavery to move to the western territories. They wanted their already booming economy to be spread into the new states. However, they reached conflict with the Northerners who were not in favor of slavery. The Kansas- Nebraska Act allowed the citizens to vote whether or not they were for slavery caused major problems. This increased tensions between the opposing states. Before Abraham Lincoln's election, the country struggled on the issue of secession. When he took office in 1861, things reached their breaking point and the first Southern states seceded.

The argument over slavery pitted States against States?
Yes, it did, and the majority of the conflict involved the north versus the south. But it should also be noted that back then, many states had slaves, and not just in the south. A number of mid-western states had decided to support slavery-- a good example was Missouri. And even states that were not officially slave states had pockets of slavery-- Illinois is a good example of this. There was considerable prejudice against blacks throughout Illinois, and as a result, no law was passed to officially outlaw slavery until 1848.
