This compromise, however, highlighted the deep divisions over slavery that would continue to plague the nation.

Abolitionists viewed this as a betrayal of the principles of freedom and equality, as it reinforced the idea that slavery could coexist with free states. Furthermore, it set a precedent for the future expansion of slavery, which many abolitionists vehemently opposed.
