Why did the Mexican cession result in renewed sectional tension about The Missouri Compromise?
The Mexican Cession, which resulted from the U.S. victory in the Mexican-American War, added vast territories to the United States and reopened the contentious debate over the expansion of slavery. This raised questions about whether the new territories would be free or slave states, challenging the balance established by the Missouri Compromise of 1820. The compromise had maintained an equilibrium between free and slave states, but the influx of new land intensified regional divisions and led to renewed sectional tensions, ultimately contributing to the events leading up to the Civil War.
