Randy Morton · Answer 1

Northern abolitionists looked at the map in 1854 and they would have concerned as southerners were all slave states and northern abolitionists were in the middle of free states.

Holland · Answer 2

There were a lot of free states between the abolitionist in the norht and the slavist in the south.

Explanation:

In 1854 there were still several states that hadn't decided wether to join the union or to separate and become independent or become a new union, so the main concern to the northern states when looking at a map would be that there were lost of free states debating between siding with the abolitionists and the southern states.
