westward expansion and slavery

These decades were shaped by Manifest Destiny and territorial growth plus intense conflict over whether slavery would be allowed in new states and territories (e.g., Missouri Compromise 1820, Mexican-American War, Compromise of 1850, Kansas‑Nebraska Act, Dred Scott).
