Both the slave states and the free states wanted the newly acquired territories to be free or slave states. They wanted to extend their respective economic systems into the new areas. But the addition of new free or slave states would upset the balance of power between the North and South. These conflicts helped to bring about the Civil War. The acquisition of Louisiana Territory (Mississippi River Basin) from Napoleon also played a major role in these conflicts.
