8 agos 1846 anni - Wilmot Proviso 1846-1850

Descrizione:

David Wilmot first proposed the Proviso in the House of Representatives on August 8, 1846. The proviso sparked a debate over whether slavery should be extended. Northern representatives passed the proviso, but the Southern representatives blocked the proviso from going to the U.S Senate. Therefore, Wilmot's Proviso never became law, but it caused more tension between the North and South.
