Question

4. How did Manifest Destiny increase tension between the free Northern states and the Southern slave states?

Answer 1

Answer:

Expansion leads to economic promise and fueled the manifest destiny but it also lead to sectional tension over slavery. The north contained a lot of abolitionists while the south was commonly pro-slavery, this increased sectional tension because each side wanted to see their ideals extended into the west.
