The House of Medici (English: /ˈmɛdɪtʃi/ MED-i-chee or, Italian: [ˈmɛːditʃi]) was an Italian banking family and political dynasty that first began to gather prominence under Cosimo de' Medici in the Republic of Florence during the first half of the 15th century. The family originated in the Mugello region of Tuscany, and prospered gradually until it was able to fund the Medici Bank.

Northerners, most of whom were against slavery, immediately opposed to such admission since they believed that Southern slave-holding states had too much power already.
