What were the concerns about allowing or banning slavery in newly established territories during the 1800s?

Must be 300 words.

Must talk about the two sides of the decision to include new territories as either slave or free states, not the two sides of the slavery debate in general.

First off, this sounds like you are trying to write an essay. Having someone else write an essay for you is plagiarism. So I will only give you a pointer. People were worried about new territories being slave or free states because of the senate. If it became a free state then the northern politicians would have more say in the senate. If it became a slave state then the South would have more control in the senate.
