Beskrivelse

In the wake of the Mexican-American War, the United States acquired vast new western territories, triggering an explosive national debate over whether slavery would be allowed to expand into these lands. The Wilmot Proviso, a simple amendment introduced in 1846, forced politicians and citizens alike to confront this divisive question, shattering the uneasy silence that had long surrounded the issue of slavery's future in America.
