8 Aug 1846 Jahr - Wilmot Proviso

Beschreibung:

A bill drafted by Democratic Senator David Wilmot of Pennsylvania. To appeal to his abolitionist vote base, Wilmot proposed that if any territory is gained through the Mexican-American War, slavery ought to be abolished there. It passed in the North-dominated House, but died in the Senate where the South had more power.
