Westward expansion created territories that eventually wished to become States. Every application for Statehood prior to the Civil War increased sectional tension because of the need to balance "free" and "slave" States in Congress.
Because the newly-elected Lincoln would not agree to any extension of slavery. So the final attempt at compromise failed.
The Missouri compromises did not cause tensions. The purpose of the two Missouri Compromises was to ease the sectional tensions that existed when each of the compromises were made. The Missouri Compromise in 1820 kept tensions low for another 30 years. Not bad considering all the growth the US was experiencing. The next crisis came in 1850. There once again tensions were cooled. It should be noted that the people of the US were not focused on sectional issues. Life went on and US remained strong as it expanded. For example, the gold rush in California had the attention of the entire nation and the world. North and South of the US were two potential enemies, Mexico and British Canada.

Sectional tensions in the United States in the 1800s were primarily fueled by differences over slavery. As the country expanded westward, debates arose over whether new territories would allow slavery. This ultimately led to the Civil War, which was fought over the issue of slavery and the balance of power between free and slave states.
The economic factor and the high taxes were some of the causes of high tensions in Europe in 1914.
