The territorial acquisitions of the U.S., particularly through events like the Louisiana Purchase, the annexation of Texas, and the Mexican-American War, intensified the debate over the expansion of slavery into new territories. As new lands were acquired, the question of whether these areas would allow slavery became a contentious issue, leading to conflicts such as "Bleeding Kansas." This growing sectional divide over slavery's expansion ultimately contributed to the rising tensions between the North and South, setting the stage for the Civil War. The Missouri Compromise and the Compromise of 1850 were attempts to address these issues, but they ultimately proved insufficient to prevent conflict.
