Westward expansion caused problems between the north and south because, as the states there were becoming free and slave states, disagreements between abolitionists and slave owners grew to tall heights since both wanted their new home to support their ideals. This transferred to the north and south since most northerners wanted the United States to be slave free and most southerners wanted to preserve slavery in order to promote their economical and social status.

There's no fun in playing it safe. Why not try something a little unhinged?
