The admission of the last four states—California, Minnesota, Oregon, and Kansas—into the Union significantly impacted the balance of power in the Senate. California and Oregon entered as free states, while Kansas was a battleground over slavery, initially entering as a free state in 1861. This increased the representation of free states in the Senate, weakening the political power of slave states and contributing to the tensions leading up to the Civil War. Overall, the shift in Senate balance heightened the conflict between pro-slavery and anti-slavery factions.
