During this era, sectional tensions in the United States increased due to several key factors. The expansion of slavery into new territories and states, particularly highlighted by events like the Missouri Compromise and the Kansas-Nebraska Act, heightened conflicts between pro-slavery and anti-slavery factions. Additionally, economic differences between the industrial North and the agrarian South exacerbated these tensions, as each region developed distinct interests and priorities. The rise of abolitionist movements and the publication of incendiary literature, such as Uncle Tom's Cabin, further polarized public opinion and deepened the divide between the sections.

Also, because of this big economical difference slavery was an issue. in fact slavery was the biggest issue and was the major cause of the civil war! The south wanted slavery because they were always farming. However, the North had no need for slavery because of their industries. But even though the north didn't need slavery they were against it. They morally believed it was wrong and wanted to end it. The south was not going to give up slavery so tensions rose there for causing big tensions leading to the civil war!
One significant action that increased tensions between the North and the South was the passage of the Kansas-Nebraska Act in 1854. This legislation allowed settlers in those territories to determine whether they would allow slavery, effectively repealing the Missouri Compromise. The ensuing violence, known as "Bleeding Kansas," highlighted the deep divisions over slavery and intensified sectional conflict, contributing to the rise of the Republican Party and setting the stage for the Civil War.
Escalation in tensions between abolitionists and pro-slavery proponents increased as abolitionists openly defied stricter laws, leading to increased incidents of conflict, arrests, and violence between the two groups.
