一、部分段落翻译
The eighteen fifties were an increasingly tense time in the United States. Most of the population lived east of the Mississippi River. But more and more people were moving west. As western areas became populated, they became official territories, and then new states.
19世纪50年代,美国的紧张形势愈演愈烈。大部分人居住在密西西比河的东岸,但是越来越多的人向西岸转移。由于西岸人口越来越多,逐渐转变为正式的领土,然后形成新的州。
People who owned negro slaves wanted to take all their property -- including the slaves -- with them when they moved west. People who opposed slavery did not want it to spread. Some of them considered slavery a moral issue. They believed it violated the laws of God. An increasing number of white Americans, however, saw slavery as an economic issue. They wanted new states to be free from slavery, so they would not have to compete with slave labor.
