There was great tension between pro-slavery and anti-slavery representatives over how new territories won would handle the issue of slavery.
The Mexican-American War and the 1848 Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, forced onto the remnant Mexican government, drew some criticism in the U.S. for their casualties, monetary cost, and heavy-handedness.

After Cromwell's era, the monarchy was restored when Charles II was brought back to the throne that had been held by his father (Charles I). After the death of Charles II, a second surviving son, James, who had been ruling as James VI in Scotland, became King James II in England. But he tried to take too much power to himself away from Parliament, and his support for Catholicism was not popular.
