This allowed the North to realize how slavery was unconstitutional and immoral, a belief and cause they had during the Civil war. 

Southerners realized if Congress would end slavery in Missouri, it may end slavery in other places. However, if the South was not a minority in the Senate by having an unequal number of states with and without slaves, the South would be able to defeat any attempt to interfere with slavery. This balance was eventually broken, leading to the eventual Civil War.

This showcased the compromises made to expand slavery for the South’s benefit while admitting states as free from slavery for the North’s benefits. Although this was a resolution to the conflicts of the North and South, it still did not address the issues of expansion of slavery to expand the South’s economy and the government’s power over territory which led into other conflicts. 

This was an example of Northerners and Southerners divided on the concept of slavery in territories. The debate reinforced the South’s interdependence on slavery and its expansion into new territory like Texas. Further, this brought out tension between the North and South, causing the growing divide that led to the Civil War. 

This Proviso escalated the boundary between the North and South. The beliefs in the expansion of slavery as the proviso prohibited slavery in territories, causing outrage in the South. This outrage headed into other conflicts in relation to the idea of expanding slavery in territory, a debate that caused the outbreak of the Civil War.

This addressed the expansion of slavery and opened the expansion to break tensions between the North and South. This divide caused anger between both sides, especially the South, as Southerners threatened to simply leave the Union and the South was wary of the Compromise of 1850. This resolution addressed the Fugitive Slave Act and its divide between the North and South. This compromise left both views with conflicts from the differing sides of the Fugitive Slave Act and expansion of slavery in new territories which led to the ultimate Civil war.

This fueled the tension between the North and South. As the North realized the cruelties of slavery that the South committed to, their determination to oppose and stop the South grew. This debate about slavery escalated to the tension of the eventual Civil War. 

This established the divide between the North and South and their beliefs of allowing slavery in other territories. Although the South believed this policy was popular  sovereignty, the North was upset at the expansion of slavery that would spread across the nation. The questioning of whether slavery should expand to new territories marked the beginning of tension between the North and South which would be significant in the coming Civil War.

This attack showcased the division of the nation as Southerners applauded the representative for defending the honor of the South while the Northerners viewed the beating as Southern brutality. This divide transcended to the violent behavior that eventually caused a Civil war. 

This exemplified the anger and rebellion the North and enslaved people had, going so far as to launch a raid. This opened the South’s eyes to the violence that would occur when slaves rebel. Escalating in brutality and violence, tensions surged as the South found the attack threatening as they may die from the enslaved people’s revenge. As tensions rose, the South’s interdependence on slavery caused consequences between both sides that ultimately led to fighting and the Civil War.

The South viewed the election of Abraham Lincoln as a threat to the South and its economy in its interdependence with slavery. The secession of Southern states in response to Lincoln’s election directly caused the Civil War.
