What was the main goal of the Wilmot Proviso? A) to ensure that any territory gained from the Mexican War would be free soil B) to ensure that any territory gained from the Mexican War would allow slavery C) to ensure that any territory gained from the Mexican War would decide the slavery question based on popular sovereignty D) to ensure that any territory gained from the Mexican War would be settled
I think I just wanna say my opinion The Wilmot's goal Proviso amendment would have closed California and New Mexico to slavery in 1846 as a requirement for their annexation, but Congress did not pass the proviso.
