How was slavery a major issue as the nation wrestled with expansion?

History

Bumek [7]3 years ago

As the United States expanded to the West, slavery was a major issue because it had to be decided whether the recently acquired land would become free states or slave states. There was a statu quo situation in which the Northern free states and the Southern slave states were balanced, there was the same number of one and the other. This was reflected in Congress as well, which permitted that slavery wasn't encouraged but it wasn't forbidden as well. With the new land and the new states, the policy was to keep things balanced, but of course there were anti-slavery and slavery groups in society that promoted otherwise.

Which civilization formed a confederation that may have impacted the US government
sashaice [31]
Iroquois Nation--this nation of tribes created a confederation to settle disputes, facilitate trade, and aid in defense. 

The Iroquois Confederacy consisted of 5 tribes who governed the area of the Great Lakes as a representative unit. Each tribe had delegates who came together to make decisions regarding the group of tribes. This type of confederation is similar to the early government of the US or at least the initial goal--a confederation of states working together on issues that addressed the whole but otherwise independent. <span />
