What concerns about the expansion of slavery to the west help the idea of secession?

The fact that haunted Southern slave owners and Southern politicians was the real possibility that the US expansion westward, would create a large majority of non slave States and Territories. To them, such a large majority could bring about the ending of slavery, an institution they believed was necessary for economic reasons. Taken with such a calamity it only helped secessionists succeed with the idea of an independent South. Whether a war could develop from that was still a question mark.
