In the 1850s, slavery deeply divided Americans along regional lines, with the Southern states supporting the institution for their agricultural economy, while Northern states increasingly opposed it on moral and economic grounds. This divide led to intense political conflicts, including the rise of the Republican Party and the contentious debates over the expansion of slavery into new territories. Events like the Kansas-Nebraska Act and the Dred Scott decision further exacerbated tensions, fueling animosity and contributing to the eventual outbreak of the Civil War. The fundamental disagreement over slavery's role in society underscored the broader cultural and economic rifts between the North and South.
