What did many Northerners fear would happen if the land acquired from Mexico is divided into several slave states?
Many Northerners feared that if the land acquired from Mexico was divided into several slave states, it would enhance the political power of the South and lead to the expansion of slavery across the nation. This could undermine their economic interests and values, as they were largely opposed to the institution of slavery. Additionally, they worried it would set a precedent for further territorial expansion of slavery, exacerbating regional tensions and conflicts over the issue. Overall, it threatened to shift the balance of power in favor of pro-slavery interests in Congress.
