The North and South would be cautious of a new territory becoming a state due to concerns over the balance of power in Congress. If the territory allowed slavery, it could tip the political scales in favor of the South, increasing their influence and potentially leading to the expansion of slavery. Conversely, if the territory was free, it could strengthen Northern interests and challenge Southern economic systems. This tension over the status of new states contributed significantly to the sectional conflicts leading up to the Civil War.
