Best Answer

Manifest Destiny led to expanded territory. When the population of these territories became enough for statehood, people worried about the senate seats being equal numbers of slave states and free states. Southern states wanted to protect their "peculiar institution."

How was manifest destiny implemented?

Manifest Destiny was the belief held by Americans that the U.S. should own all of the land on North America from the Atlantic to the Pacific. This was achieved when the U.S. won the Mexican-American War and acquired what is now the Southwestern U.S. However, acquisition of this land brought back up the slavery question, i.e. should this new territory be slave or free--an argument that would eventually lead to the U.S. Civil War. The manifest destiny also led back to popular soveignty!!!
