Even with the passage of the Clay bill, the "free soil" movement continues to grow as the growth of slavery into new territories was resisted by "free soilers" in the north who resisted the extension of the reach of the institution of slavery. If slavery expanded, so did the political power of the South, thereby upsetting the delicate balance of power between North and South in the U.S. government. Manifest Destiny which had before become a rallying cry for the nation now divided it along sectional lines as the South became the advocates of expanding Western lands in the hopes of extending slavery while northerners hesitated over the free soil issue at expansion into former Mexican territory.

Racial controversies were complicated even more in California with the influx of Chinese and the crushing of native Mexicans in the new acquired territories (ibid, 415-416).
The expansion of the United States challenged not only U.S. domestic politics, but also its international relations. As noted above, it lead to war with Mexico. The fight over Oregon caused controversy between Britiain and the U.S. As northerners fretted over southern expansion, but not over their own (ibid, 401-402). Again, the Clay bill papered over these differences, but this was only a band aide on a huge wound.

He describes how wild grains and animals were domesticated, as well as the new technologies that made farming possible (sickles, baskets, pestles, gourds, irrigation, the wheel, the plow). He uses a chart to plot these movements. His evidence is mainly archeological, historical, and botanical with heavy doses of appeal to imaginary scenarios. Its power to convince is narrational. His ultimate point in cataloguing this change is to assert how,
