Yes, it did, and the majority of the conflict involved the north versus the south. But it should also be noted that back then, many states had slaves, and not just in the south. A number of mid-western states had decided to support slavery-- a good example was Missouri. And even states that were not officially slave states had pockets of slavery-- Illinois is a good example of this. There was considerable prejudice against blacks throughout Illinois, and as a result, no law was passed to officially outlaw slavery until 1848.

What best describes the behavior of the conquistadors toward Native Americans?
Conquistadors pitted native tribes against each other, favoring their allies, as long as they were useful. Once the conquest was over, the Native Americans were subject to mistreatment and slavery.
Why did the northerners fight the Civil War?

The southern states (initially 7 and subsequently 11) announced secession from the Union mainly on the issue of slavery. The slavery states were called Confederation states and the states that had not seceded were called Union States. After the announcement of secession hostilities broke out between two in 1861 and continued till 1865. The war ended with Confederacy defeat.
In the Compromise of 1850 Stephen Douglas supported which policy?
Senator Stephen Douglas helped draft the bills of the Compromise of 1850. His position, which was basically the whole of the compromise, set the northern boundary for slavery at 36°30', created harsher fugitive slave laws and introduced the concept of popular sovereignty for several territories such as Kansas, Utah and New Mexico, wherein the legal residents of those particular territories would determine by voting, whether or not to permit slavery within their borders. This law led directly to the civil conflict known as 'Bleeding Kansas' which pitted pro-slavery settlers against free-soil settlers of that territory.
