Why allow slavery in western territories?
As the United States expanded, the question arose about whether the new states admitted to the Union would be slave states or free states. In 1820, for example, the so-called "Missouri Compromise" allowed Maine to enter the Union as a free state, while allowing Missouri to have slavery. This would soon become an ongoing controversy, as abolitionists fought to outlaw slavery entirely, while plantation and business owners (especially in the south, but also in the west) fought to keep slavery legal. While it seems strange to us today that anyone would defend slavery, it is sad to note that many people back then believed slavery was permissible; and based on a common misreading of the Bible, some even believed it was ordained by God. Thus, as new territories applied to become states, the leaders of these territories often asked the federal government to allow them to have slaves.

Pro- and anti-slavery groups rushed to populate the new territories.
