I apologize for any confusion. The correct answer is: It intensified the debate over slavery. The U.S.-Mexican War led to the acquisition of new territories, such as California and New Mexico, which sparked a heated debate over whether slavery should be allowed in those areas. This further polarized the nation and contributed to the growing tension between the North and the South over the issue of slavery.
