In 1850, the institution of slavery was growing stronger in the South, as the cotton economy expanded and reliance on enslaved labor increased. The invention of the cotton gin further boosted cotton production, solidifying the South's economic dependence on slavery. Additionally, pro-slavery sentiments and political power were intensifying, leading to greater resistance against abolitionist movements and heightened sectional tensions with the North.
