Slavery led to segregation due to the fact that most slaves were disenfranchised and uneducated. The whites did not consider slaves equal as human beings and felt that they were dirty. Though this conception was proven wrong, whites eventually kept segregation laws in order to keep the black population down and keep the whites superior.

The Jim Crow laws racially segregated all public facilities in the Southern states. These laws were enacted in 1876 to replace the Black Codes and would last until 1965.

Why did northern politicians oppose the extension of slavery into the new territories?

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.

Why did segregation happen?

Because African Americans used to be slaves. When Abraham Lincoln became president, his plan was to stop slavery from spreading but the Southern states thought he was going to abolish slavery. The Civil War begun and the Union won. The 13th Amendment, which abolished slavery, was also passed. After abolishing slavery, African Americans were treated badly because of their race. That's how it started.
