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.
The addition of new territories through the Louisiana purchase alarmed many southerners, including North Carolinians. As territories acquired by the Louisiana purchase applied for admission to the union, they might apply as free states, states that had banned slavery. Doing so would throw the balance in congress to free states, who might then move to ban slavery throughout the nation.

The Missouri Compromise of 1820 addressed the issue of slavery and its expansion into newly acquired territories. It established a line, known as the 36°30' parallel, where slavery would be prohibited in the northern territories of the Louisiana Purchase, excluding Missouri. This compromise attempted to maintain a balance of power between slave and free states while addressing increasing tensions between the North and South.
