Because the slave states and the free states where even in number so the fact of CA coming in as a free state would give free states more states so that would threaten the south.
Unfortunately, the inhumane and cruel act of slavery still exists. Even after countlesss attempts to douse the flame, the spark remained. Today, there are over 27 million slaves--hiding in the shadows and in the fists of their owners. Our small history class in Indiana is digging up the problem of slavery, and helping communities join hands and become abolitionists. Stand up for the precious children, our brothers, and our sisters that suffer each second of their short lives.
Martin Luther posted the 95 Theses to challenge the Catholic Church's practices, particularly the sale of indulgences, and to spark a debate on the need for reform within the church.

They regarded them rather as we might regard the Green lobby - a small but vocal group with a lot of influence, and claiming the moral high ground. Most Northerners were not passionately anti-slavery, though the publication of 'Uncle Tom's Cabin' brought many new recruits to the cause of Abolitionism. Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation did not spark-off the rush of Abolitionist fervour that he hoped for.
California's admission as a free state in 1850 intensified the national debate over slavery, as it disrupted the delicate balance between free and slave states in the Senate. This sparked a crisis, leading to the Compromise of 1850, which aimed to ease tensions by allowing certain territories to decide their own status on slavery. The situation also fueled the emergence of the Republican Party and heightened sectional conflicts, ultimately contributing to the Civil War. California's statehood thus became a flashpoint in the larger struggle over the future of slavery in the United States.
California's application for statehood as a free state in 1850 upset the delicate balance between free and slave states in the US Senate, leading to tensions over the expansion of slavery.

Anti slavery abolitionist John Brown did not spark the US Civil War. He did become a martyr for the cause to end slavery in that he was executed a few months after his attack on the Federal arsenal at Harpers Ferry, Virginia.
The leader of the Harper's Ferry raid was John Brown, an abolitionist who aimed to spark a slave uprising by seizing the federal armory at Harper's Ferry, Virginia, in October 1859. Brown and his small group of followers intended to arm enslaved people and ignite a rebellion against slavery. The raid ultimately failed, leading to Brown's capture and subsequent execution, which further intensified the national debate over slavery.
In the short term, very unfavourably. The Supreme Court ruled that slavery was protected in every state of the Union, and that a black man could not sue a white man. In the long term (ironically), it sharpened the divisions between the two sections, generally raised the temperature of the debate, and helped to spark-off the war - that eventualy liberated the slaves!

The debate of free will vs determinism revolves around the extent to which individuals have control over their actions. Free will asserts that humans have the ability to make choices independent of external forces, while determinism argues that all events, including human actions, are determined by factors outside our control.

1772; abolitionist, Granville Sharpe, judgment in the British courts that started slavery was not compatible with British laws. this became known as the Mansfield judgment and helped to spark the anti slavery movement.
One controversial feature of Missouri's admission was that nearly all of the state was north of the line where slavery was supposed to be permitted by a previous agreement. Only a tiny portion ('the bootheel') was south of the slavery line, but the whole state would be admitted as a slave state. This upset northern anti-slavery advocates including Quakers, and encouraged southerners in favor of expanding slavery throughout all the western territories and states.
