Why allow slavery in western territories?
As the United States expanded, the question arose about whether the new states admitted to the Union would be slave states or free states. In 1820, for example, the so-called "Missouri Compromise" allowed Maine to enter the Union as a free state, while allowing Missouri to have slavery. This would soon become an ongoing controversy, as abolitionists fought to outlaw slavery entirely, while plantation and business owners (especially in the south, but also in the west) fought to keep slavery legal. While it seems strange to us today that anyone would defend slavery, it is sad to note that many people back then believed slavery was permissible; and based on a common misreading of the Bible, some even believed it was ordained by God. Thus, as new territories applied to become states, the leaders of these territories often asked the federal government to allow them to have slaves.
What were Abraham Lincoln's reasons for wanting to keep slavery out of the territories?

Why did Lincoln not abolish slavery the moment he was elected president?
He would have immediately caused poor relations between himself and states that approved slavery, but remained part of the union. States such as Maryland, who were pro-slavery, would have left the union, as well. The Civil War was fought over the expansion of slavery, not the essence of slavery itself.
How did the war with Mexico help the seeds of the Civil War to grow?
The Missouri CompromiseAdditional territories gained from the U.S.--Mexican War of 1846--1848 heightened the slavery debate. Abolitionists fought to have slavery declared illegal in those territories, as the Northwest Ordinance of 1787 had done in the territory that became the states of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan and Wisconsin. Advocates of slavery feared that if the institution were prohibited in any states carved out of the new territories the political power of slaveholding states would be diminished, possibly to the point of slavery being outlawed everywhere within the United States. Pro- and anti-slavery groups rushed to populate the new territories.
