Well the main concern of many republicans in the Union during the time was to keep the West free as the nation expanded westward. The South (as well as many Northerners) were in support of popular sovereignty, which took place in the states of Kansas and Nebraska. Men from both the North and South literally packed up there belongings and traveled across the country to keep those states free/slavery-advocating. Along with this, you can consider the Alamo, in which American-Texans rebelled against the Mexican government. Much of this was due to the fact that the Mexican government forbidden slavery, which upset the southern Americans residing in northern Mexico (now Texas).

In short, the West was far less concrete as far as views on slavery-advocacy goes. Generally, it was either abolitionist or slavery-supporter. Some people (generally Northernors) supported the idea of deporting the slaves and sending them to their native Africa, however this idea didn't last long.

Was West for slavery during the civil war?

During the Civil War, the Western states and territories had diverse views on slavery. While some areas, particularly those in the Midwest, were largely anti-slavery and supported the Union, others, especially in the border states, maintained pro-slavery sentiments. The question of slavery in the West was complicated by issues of statehood and the expansion of slavery into new territories, leading to significant political and social tensions. Overall, the West was not uniformly for or against slavery but had a mix of perspectives reflecting the broader national conflict.

What statements about west African slavery are most accurate?

West African slavery was a prevalent practice that existed long before the arrival of Europeans in the region. Slavery in West Africa was often different from the transatlantic slave trade, as slaves were not solely used for labor but also held various social and economic roles. The transatlantic slave trade significantly intensified and expanded the scale of slavery in West Africa, leading to profound social, economic, and cultural consequences.
