The free soil/ slave state balance was considered very important. Many of the free states were inclined towards being slave states (and in two cases voted to allow it).

The unstable relationship between the Yankee and mainstream US culture could easily have been disrupted earlier, and a point where the old NW etc. would have sided with a putative CSA, essentially making it NE, Penn and NY the secessionists.
