Did the south oppose to the idea of cheap western land?

Yes, the South generally opposed the idea of cheap western land because they feared it would lead to the expansion of free states and undermine the institution of slavery. Southern leaders believed that if land was made readily available and affordable, it would attract settlers who might not support the slave economy. Moreover, they were concerned that the political power would shift toward the North, diminishing Southern influence in Congress.
