The southern states wanted the new states to become slave states to maintain the balance of power between free and slave states in Congress. This was crucial for preserving their economic interests and way of life, which heavily relied on slavery. By ensuring new states permitted slavery, they aimed to protect their political influence and prevent the abolitionist movement from gaining strength.
The new country formed in 1860 when several southern states seceded from the United States was called the Confederate States of America (CSA). This secession was primarily driven by issues related to slavery and states' rights. The Confederacy sought to establish itself as an independent nation, leading to the American Civil War.
There was a strong body of opinion that none of the new territories should become slave-states. This would mean that the South would always be outvoted in Congress - if they stayed in the USA.
The delegates from the southern states that seceded from the Union in 1861 formed a new nation called the Confederate States of America (CSA). This new government was established in response to tensions over states' rights and slavery, and it operated under its own Constitution until the defeat of the Confederacy in 1865.
In the context of U.S. presidential elections, southern states have historically leaned towards the Republican Party in recent decades. However, this trend has varied over time; during the mid-20th century, many southern states were solidly Democratic due to the legacy of the New Deal and civil rights issues. Notably, in the 2020 election, the majority of southern states voted for Donald Trump. The voting patterns in southern states can change with each election cycle, influenced by demographic shifts and political issues.
As early as 1634 New England had public schools, but the southern states depended on tutoring for the plantation children. Poor people and slaves didn't get any education.

The only new law was the Fugitive Slave Act. It was not 'given to the Southern states'. It was enforced in every state of the Union. But it was a gesture of appeasement to the Southern states, in order to keep them onside at a time when it was getting harder to create new slave-states.
The Northern wanted to be a new and free state with no slave labor. On the other hand the southern wanted the new states to be slaved states.
