The U.S. territorial expansion, particularly during the 19th century, exacerbated the political divide primarily over the issue of slavery. As new territories entered the Union, debates arose about whether they would be free or slave states, igniting tensions between the North and South. This conflict led to significant compromises, such as the Missouri Compromise and the Kansas-Nebraska Act, which ultimately failed to resolve the divisions and contributed to the rise of sectionalism. The resulting polarization set the stage for the Civil War, as differing regional interests and ideologies became increasingly entrenched.
During the 19th century, the main issue of territorial expansion was slavery. Northerners didn't want slavery to extend into the western regions, while the south did.

This growing sectionalism between the north and the south would later tear the nation apart, in what is known as the Civil War.
