From its Founding up to the Civil War and then even beyond, many Americans argued, and often heatedly, over the institution of slavery simply because of the differing viewpoints that they took on it. Whether it should be banned or allowed, or otherwise dealt with in some compromise solution, was debated frequently because some strongly believed that it was wrong, while others saw nothing wrong with it -- with many viewpoints in-between taken by many others.

What was one issue that led to the split in the American slavery society?

One significant issue that led to the split in American society over slavery was the debate over the expansion of slavery into new territories and states. As the United States expanded westward, conflicts arose between pro-slavery and anti-slavery factions, particularly over whether new states admitted to the Union would be free or slave states. This tension was exemplified by events such as the Missouri Compromise and the Kansas-Nebraska Act, which only intensified sectional divisions and ultimately contributed to the outbreak of the Civil War.

What does Douglas argue about the status of slavery in his home state Illinois and what does he conclude about about the role of congress in regulating slavery in the federal territories?

Stephen A. Douglas argued that slavery was effectively prohibited in Illinois due to the state's constitution and prevailing public sentiment against it. He concluded that Congress should not impose restrictions on slavery in federal territories, advocating instead for popular sovereignty, which allowed settlers in those territories to decide the legality of slavery themselves. Douglas believed this approach would promote democracy and reduce sectional tensions over the issue.

The Louisiana Purchase and Mexican American War certainly escalated tensions over slavery. For one, slave holders felt it was okay to expand slavery and their products and services into newly acquired land and territories. This was strongly opposed by early abolitionists that did not want the immoral act of slavery plaguing the new territories.
