Question

What are the 2 reasons that the Louisiana purchase caused a debate in the usa​

Answer 1

It was a debate between the northerners and southerners (forgive my spelling). The northerners feared the addition of more slave states and a corresponding lack of reprenestation of their intrests in the North. For the southern slave holders, new western lands would be a boon (helpful) to enslaved people and the Louisiana purchase threatened to entrench and expand their suffering to western territories.
