Some Americans were opposed to manifest destiny because other nations (Mexico & Great Britain) claimed the land and because they felt an expansive nation would be too large to govern. Abolitionists feared new territory would expand slacery.

Escaping from slavery or helping someone to escape from slavery was a very difficult and dangerous task.
