Explanation:
The antebellum period was the period before the civil war where the gradual polarization of the country started between abolitionists and slave supporters. Meanwhile, northern states were mainly manufacturers, in the south cotton plantations were still very profitable. With the invention of the cotton gin the demand of cotton rose, even more, these plantations depended on slave labor to continue and this is one of the reasons the abolition of slavery wasn’t in the plans of the southern states.
By 1843 many slaves would run to the north so they could escape slavery. This made the relationship between states very unstable. The Fugitive Slave Law of 1850 made possible that any alleged or suspected runaway slave could be arrested. The suspect couldn't ask for a trial or testify on his/her own behalf. Any person who helped any runaway slave would be arrested for 6 months and pay a fine. Any officer that captured a fugitive slave would get a bonus or promotion. This law increased the issue with the anti-slavery citizens in the northern states.
In 1846 The Wilmot Proviso was a proposal that tried to ban slavery in the new territory acquired from the American-Mexican war. The North congressman David Wilmot feared that it would be possible that a pro-slave territory would be added so he proposed an amendment to the bill. This made the controversy over slavery even bigger. The failure of The Wilmot Proviso led to the Compromise of 1850 that helped to cool things down for some years before the civil war.
