    The document discusses the uneasy peace between the North and South following the Mexican-American War and the acquisition of new western territories. Tensions arose over whether slavery should be allowed in the new territories and the Wilmot Proviso attempted to ban slavery but was defeated. The Compromise of 1850 temporarily resolved issues by organizing territories and establishing popular sovereignty, allowing settlers to decide on slavery, but deep divisions remained between abolitionists and pro-slavery advocates that would eventually erupt into the Civil War.
