Why was the question of whether or not to allow slavery in the US territories such an important issue for Northerners and Southerners?
Well the north thought all men were created equal but, the south thought god put some on the Earth to rule others. The north disagreed with the south and the south disagreed with the north. But some people in the south agreed with the north they were called Quakers they were a religious group. They would help runaway slaves like the famous Harriet Tubman. The south got angry with the north because they helped runaway slaves. So the South's money was disappearing because they viewed slave as property they paid for instead of the people that they were.

What was the position of notherners on slavery during the 1850s?
This question is hard to answer with just one viewpoint. In fact, in the early 1850's the idea of slavery was mixed among Northerners. For example, the clergy were sometimes in favor of slavery, as seen in "South Side view of Slavery" by Rev. Nehemiah Adams, but this was not always the case. When Harriet Beecher Stowe's book, "Uncle Tom's Cabin" was published in 1852, many northerners were outraged by the atrocities slave families had to go through. She is said to have described her book as actual events and occurrences that she had witnessed and put together in a "mosaic," as an artist would do. Her book opened the eyes of many northerners and westerners who had never experienced such things. With all this in mind, however, it cannot be said that all northerners and for that matter all southerners shared the same viewpoints. While the abolitionists, northerners who felt slavery was immoral, screamed louder than any other northerners, their ideas were not the only ones. Other northerners were afraid that such cheap labor would keep their prices uncompetitive in the market place. Therefore, it can be said that both economic and moral reasons dictated the views of the northerners in the 1850's. For the most part, however, the north did not find a need to have slaves because their population had increased over time and the labor force was extensive. While the north saw an increase in population, the south remained nearly stagnate.
Northern attempts to attack slavery was limited by?
A) the apathy of most northerners regarding the question B) the presence of more important issues before congress C) the absence of strong northern congressional leadership D) the amount of money slave industries contributed to the national economy E) the absence of federal authority to regulate slavery I don't believe that "A" is the answer because Northerners were not apathetic at all about slavery. I am unsure of the answer but I am leaning towards "E" E is the correct answer

Why was the question of whether to allow slavery in the territories of the US such an important issue for the northerners and southerners?
The issue of slavery was important to northerners because that meant they could catch runaway laves and they could get a reward for it. it was also important for the southerners because that meant that the money they spent on them was a partial waste.

How did settlement of the west increase tension between the North and South?
The opening of the western territories came at a time when the North and South were at odds over the question of slavery. Southerners wanted to add to their number, political and economic power by hopefully allowing slavery in the territories or at least letting the people there choose for themselves. Northerners did not want to add more slave states. They viewed slavery an abhorrent evil as well as a system that devalued the work of the free working man. They also did not want to increase the voting power of the South.
How many boys joined the Civil War?
There is no good answer to this question. There is no solid definition for "boy" for that time. Many thousands of northerners below age 16 joined. Tens of thousands of southerners below age 16 joined the fight. Soldiers as young as 12, 13 and 14 were not uncommon.
Where did Violence over the question of slavery in the territories broke out between northerners and southerners in?
The earliest violence broke out in Kansas (known as "bleeding Kansas") between settlers there who supported abolition, and settlers from neighboring Missouri who ran raiding parties, as supporters of slavery. Kansas had been given the option to choose for itself whether it wanted to be a Free State or a Slave State. This violence broke out well before the Civil War, as early as the 1850s, and continued sporadically straight through the end of the War.
