Why did settlement in the west increase tension between the north and south with The Missouri Compromise?

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.
