Slavery became more central to American politics in the 1840s in that territorial expansion raised the question of whether new lands should be free or slave.

Let's set the example of the acceptance of California as a state on September 9, 1850. On this day, California became the 31st state of the Union and entered as a free state. A vast portion of the former Mexican territory was gained by the United States as part of the negotiations of the Treaty Guadalupe-Hidalgo. California, Utah, Arizona, and New Mexico were incorporated into the US. Slavery really divided the American people. The northerners supported abolition while southerners supported slavery.

question: write a report analyzing through articles of confederation.

answer: the articles of confederation the united states constitution was written when the people feared strong government the new nation needed some kind of organization to hold states together to them fend off future attacks and make a stronger support system through the states and people the states bonded through a friendship that best served as a defense against a invasion and states were not allowed to use taxes as a way to discourage treaties, and states were extremely limited in their dealings with foreign nations the strengths were that the congress has the highest power in the nation because of   fear of monarchy congress had the sole power to declare war and assign treaties disputes between states and territorial issues were to be brought to congress and weaknesses were the lack of power given to congress the articles gave congress the power to pass laws but no power to enforce those laws if a state did not support a federal law that state could simply ignore it congress had no power to levy taxes or regulate trade.
