The Mexican Cession, which followed the Mexican-American War, intensified debates over slavery in the newly acquired territories, exacerbating regional tensions between the North and South. This led to the emergence of the Compromise of 1850, which aimed to address the status of slavery in these areas but ultimately failed to provide a lasting solution. Additionally, the cession raised questions about the expansion of U.S. territory and the treatment of Native American populations, contributing to ongoing conflicts and political strife in the region. These issues played a significant role in the lead-up to the Civil War.
