Answer:

Texas is a very large state and may have ruined the balance between slave and free state

Step-by-step explanation:

Texas would be under the line for slave states and since Texas was a massive state, the north feared that the south would gain an upper hand in the conflict between slave and free state. Eventually Maine was created to fix this.

hope this helped
