B. it intensified the debate over the expansion of slavery
are you sure?
I apologize for any confusion. The correct answer is B. it intensified the debate over the expansion of slavery. The Mexican Cession, which occurred after the Mexican-American War, added a significant amount of territory to the United States. This raised the issue of whether slavery should be allowed in these newly acquired lands, which further heightened tension between the North and the South and eventually contributed to the outbreak of the American Civil War.
