I get the feeling after Dred Scott and the Fugitive Slave Act that war was indeed inevitable. The North feared that the South, with the Supreme Court leading the way, wanted to legalize slavery nationwide. The South feared that the North wanted ultimately to abolish slavery nationwide. And with all that land to the West eventually reaching statehood, the North could someday have the votes to do it.
