Southern plantation holders were appalled at the idea that that slavery would be banned in the US territories. They realized that as the territories became States and continued their anti slavery positions, the South would became an even smaller group of slave holding States. In turn, this could lead to the abolition of slavery nationwide. They were correct in this assumption. Most Americans were against slavery. In the days of antebellum, their Congressional response was the passing of the Missouri Compromises.
