"The North" qualifies as such. At a time when slavery was becoming a hot issue in American politics, they were afraid "The South" would use the newly conquered territories to increase slavery and get the upper hand.

You should be aware that the Mexican-American War (1846-1848) was an extension of the Texas Revolution (1835-1836) which was by itself, motivated by slave owners.
