How did the area of territory of slave states and territories open to slavery change between 1854 and 1861?
Between 1854 and 1861, the area of territory open to slavery expanded significantly due to the Kansas-Nebraska Act of 1854, which allowed new territories to decide on the legality of slavery through popular sovereignty. This led to violent conflicts known as "Bleeding Kansas" as pro-slavery and anti-slavery settlers rushed into the territories. Additionally, the Dred Scott decision in 1857 further entrenched the status of slavery, declaring that Congress had no power to regulate slavery in the territories. By 1861, the political landscape was increasingly polarized, with more territories and states aligning with the institution of slavery.

How did the area of slave states and territories open slavery change between 1854 and 1861?
Between 1854 and 1861, the area of slave states and territories expanded due to the passage of the Kansas-Nebraska Act, which allowed settlers in those territories to determine whether they would permit slavery through popular sovereignty. This led to violent conflicts known as "Bleeding Kansas" as pro-slavery and anti-slavery factions clashed. Additionally, the Supreme Court's Dred Scott decision in 1857 further entrenched slavery by ruling that Congress could not prohibit slavery in the territories. Ultimately, these developments heightened tensions leading up to the Civil War.
What was the reaction of the Northerners to the war with Mexico?
They feared the new acquired territories would undermine the delicate balance between slave and non-slave states. They tried to ban slavery on the new territories by introducing the Wilmot Proviso (1846). However, many of these territories were already pro-slavery, including New Mexico and Texas. This unresolved issue was one of the main reasons of the American Civil War (1861-1865).

Where were the territories of the US at the time of the civil war?
At the time of the Civil War (1861-1865), the United States consisted of 34 states and several territories. Key territories included the Kansas Territory, Nebraska Territory, and the New Mexico Territory, among others. The significant division was between the Union states in the North and the Confederate states in the South, with territories primarily leaning towards either side based on their economic and social structures. The war ultimately influenced the status of these territories, leading to changes in their governance and future statehood.
