Many bills and compromises were made to satisfy the different opinions of the free and slave states. This caused a gradual increase in sectionalism in the US. As a result, the government was unable to become stable and reliable. The different opinions of slavery have to diminish in order for sectionalism to disappear and stabilize the country.
