8 авг 1846 г. - Wilmot Proviso
Описание:
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.Добавлено на ленту времени:
