Yes, the Mexican-American War (1846-1848) significantly contributed to the tensions leading to the American Civil War. The conflict resulted in territorial gains for the United States, which intensified debates over the expansion of slavery into new territories. The subsequent compromise measures, such as the Compromise of 1850, failed to resolve the underlying issues, further polarizing the nation along sectional lines and setting the stage for the Civil War.
