Northerners were generally divided in their response to Stephen A. Douglas's proposal for the Kansas-Nebraska Act, which allowed for popular sovereignty to determine the status of slavery in those territories. Many anti-slavery advocates viewed the proposal as a betrayal of the Missouri Compromise and a threat to the balance between free and slave states. However, some Democrats supported Douglas's vision of westward expansion and believed it could promote economic growth. Overall, the proposal intensified sectional tensions and contributed to the rise of the Republican Party.

Additionally, Northern politicians and lawmakers often upheld pro-slavery policies and laws, such as the Fugitive Slave Act, which mandated the return of escaped slaves.

Why did southern democrats refused to nominate Stephen Douglas?
Like all things political, it's complicated.One obvious reason is that Douglas was not pro-slavery enough. While he was opposed to abolition, he refused to strongly endorse the Dred Scott decision and other pro-slavery judicial rulings or legislation.It has also been suggested that pro-slavery secessionists chose not to support Douglas knowing that this would lead to a split in the Democratic party and, effectively, throw the election to Lincoln. Douglas was not vehemently pro-slavery, but he clearly wasn't morally opposed to it. Douglas did claim not to own any slaves personally, but this was a technicality; his wife and children did, and his household benefited economically from them. Lincoln's anti-slavery sentiments are well testified to by both public addresses and private letters, and secessionists felt that a Lincoln administration would soon provide the impetus for the southern states to finally secede.
