The Nullification crisis (refusal to pay import tariffs) was an assertion of states' rights, which included the right to own slaves, according to the leaders of South Carolina.

The Wilmot Proviso declared that there should be no new slave-states. If carried, this would mean that the South would be increasingly out-voted in Congress, and that the tariffs would increase further.

These were the two implacable forces that were bound to collide in violence.

The Election of 1860 was won for the first time by the Republicans, who opposed the extension of slavery. The newly-inaugurated Lincoln rejected the final compromise because it would have allowed some new slave-states.

No. It would just have started the war earlier. The war started eventually, because the prospect of new slave-states was ended byLincoln's victory in the 1860 election. The prospect of new slave-states would have been ended much sooner, if the Wilmot Proviso had been passed.
