-The Mexican War once again brought up the issue of slavery. The question of the expansion of slavery gripped the nation with the Mexican cession, with whether slavery would be outlawed in the territory or not.
-Sectionalism continues to divide the nation as the question of slavery being allowed in the Mexican cession became a problem.
-The results of the Mexican War helped spark secession in the South because the North did not want to allow slavery in the territories won. The Wilmot Proviso was created and it banned slavery in the cession, but it did not pass.
