The debate over slavery in the North and South was a long- lasting debate. The southern region was more known for using enslaved workers, while the North was known for being more urban and using free labor. The new territories that arose led to the argument of whether they should be free or slave states. The extent to which the United States became more divided over the issue of slavery between 1800 and 1848 is extreme because of the creation of the Missouri compromise, the growth and decline of slavery in the North and South, and the Democrats vs. Whigs.

During this time, the government was under the Articles of Confederation. The Articles of Confederation were weak; the government didn't have the power to tax or enforce power. The federalists, like Alexander Hamilton, wanted a strong central government, while the anti-federalists wanted a weak central government. The new federal government fostered political and economic continuity through changes in its policies, through the development of the national and the new form of government.

The United States became more divided over the issue of slavery because of the Missouri Compromise, the Mexican-American War, and the rise of 2nd Great Awakening.
