How did the Mexican American war affect the slavery debate?

History

Answer:

The Mexican American War was heavily influenced by the debate on slavery in the United States of America. Ulysses S. Grant, future top military commander of Union Army and president, said that the Civil War was a God´s punishment  for the Mexican American War, a "wicked war" motivated by imperialism and expansion of slavery, in his words. The war was supported by many Americans who saw in it the fulfillment of the Manifest Destiny, the promise that the USA would extent from sea to sea as an expression of the divine will. In the 1840s, in the antebellum years, the debate was focused on whether the new territories should be slavery-free or admit slavery. The opposing positions created another legislative crisis. Under the Compromise of 1850, California was admitted as a free state, but it didn´t decide the status of other new states. Kansas and Nebraska were also political battlefields between pro-slavery and anti-slavery activists.

How did intellectual developments reflect the general crisis in western thought?
Sladkaya [172]
One development was mass secularization. People abandoned the idea of there being a god and turned more and more towards atheistic or agnostic beliefs. This was highly problematic for western thought which was commonly very theistic and its ethics were often based on concepts from religion and with loss of this the western thought was endangered.

Another is that nihilism started developing. Nihilism is the concept that life in itself is meaningless and that there is nothing truly to strive for or do since there is no true meaning to be found in it other than the meaning that we ascribe to it which is not true since it was created by us and not by a higher power.

Another was scientific development of the atoms and theory of atoms. These developments very soon started getting weaponized and this led to the nuclear bombs which put the entire world in a crisis and on the brink of war, not just western thought. This also sparked numerous new ideas regarding ethics and morality.

Another was the development of Freudian psychology and psychoanalysis. This led to a crisis because it explained that people are not truly responsible for what they do but that they are guided by their subconscious and it is not something that we can explain. This led to numerous ideas regarding concepts of free will.
