Many feared that addressing slavery directly would lead to deep divisions and potentially jeopardize the fragile alliance between Northern and Southern states. They believed that the issue could be resolved later, underestimating the growing tensions surrounding slavery that would ultimately lead to conflict. However, rather than becoming easier to settle, the issue escalated over time, culminating in the Civil War.
On July 13, 1787, at the Constitutional Convention, delegates Charles Pinckney and Gouverneur Morris engaged in a heated exchange over slavery.

The party was split between Northern Democrats, who favored popular sovereignty, and Southern Democrats, who wanted a stronger federal protection of slavery.

This division significantly impacted the outcome of the 1860 presidential election.
