Why didn't the abolitionists want western states admitted to be slave states?
Before the Civil War, there was a perfect balance between "slave" states and "free" states. Neither side could budge the other, and no new states could be admitted to the Union without a vote of the Congress - more specifically, the Senate. So new states were admitted in pairs, one slave and one free, to preserve the balance. If one new "slave" state had been admitted to the Union, the majority of slave state senators would have been able to outvote the "free" state senators and admit more "slave" states. The balance was shattered when the southern states seceded from the United States, and the Civil War settled the issue - at the cost of a half-million dead.
