4. The Utah, New Mexico, Nebraska, and Kansas Territories. They were open to slavery because of the 1850 Compromise which said that these states had the right to choose whether they wanted to be a free state or slave state, allowed them to. This was allowed because Congress had never dealt with something like this. It wasn't written into law, so the states were able to choose for themselves.
