If slavery was not permitted in the Mexican cession, pro-slavery southerners ambitiously sought to expand their slave holding territories into Latin America. They created the Ostend Manifesto that called for the purchase and annexation of Cuba. If Spain refused to sell, they favored going to war with Spain.
