The extension of slavery refers to the practice of expanding the institution of slavery into new territories or states, particularly in the context of the United States during the 19th century. It was a contentious issue that fueled debates between pro-slavery and anti-slavery factions, particularly as new states were being admitted to the Union. Proponents argued that it was essential for economic growth, while opponents viewed it as morally wrong and a threat to free labor. The conflict over the extension of slavery contributed significantly to the tensions leading up to the Civil War.
