Yes i think it increased the sectional tension during the antebellum period.

Explanation:

During the Antebellum period which was before the Civil War, there was sectional differences in the United States. It was largely caused by slavery.

Slavery during this period grew wider and the country's leaders debated whether to allow it expand into the western territories at the same time there was an intensified criticism of slavery in some free states.
