The correct answer is the spread of slavery.

After the Mexican American War (1848) the United States gained several territories in the modern day American Southwest. This includes Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado, California, etc. One of the biggest issues was whether or not slavery would exist in these new territories. Determining whether or not slavery would exist in these territories was a controversial issue, as the decision could alter the balance of free and slaves states in Congress.
