That was about the last year that there wasn't any uncertainty.
The Missouri Compromise had drawn a clear line in the sand, and it hadmanaged to keepthe situation balanced. But it only applied to the territories acquired from France in the Louisiana Purchase of 1803.
It was the Mexican War of 1846-7 that caused the uncertainty, because of the vast new territories in the West. The South was keen to extend its slave-empire, but there was a strong Abolitionistlobby trying to prevent any extension of slavery. The result was the unsatisfactory Compromise of 1850, which led to a decade of rising tensions, ending in war.
