History

Mila [183]2 years ago

David Wilmot was a Pennsylvania-born congressman who opposed slavery. His "proviso"—a clause tacked on to a number of legislation being debated in Congress—prohibited slavery in all of the new territory won from Mexico following the Mexican War. Although the proviso was well-liked in the North, it was vehemently opposed by the South and never became a part of the legislation.  It declared that slavery would be outlawed in any new area that the United States might take over from Mexico. The argument over whether slavery still exists in the West was rekindled.

In his campaign to secure the republican presidential nomination, mitt romney needed to aim his speeches at persuading swing vot
julsineya [31]

Swing voters are voters who don´t have a political affiliation or preference for any particular Party. The federal budget is a subject of great importance when it comes to elections, due to the fact that both the Republican Party and the Democratic Party have different views regarding how it should be distributed.

Although belonging to the Republican Party, Congressman Paul Ryan supports the increase if government spending and financial deregulation of banks. These are both propositions very similar to the ones his Democratic counterparts state. In the 2012 presidential campaign, Mitt Romney aimed to find common ground with these swing voters in order for them to eventually give their vote to him.

How were the new England colonies different from the middle and south colonies?
kvasek [131]

Answer:

The New England colonies; and middle and south colonies are different in terms of dependence on slaves.

Explanation:

The number of families that had slaves in the New England colonies was very less. These slaves were majorly employed to do household chores. Further south, i.e. in the middle colonies, there were more slaves than the New England colonies and were involved in the household, industrial, and agricultural activities.

The colonies in the south had the most slaves because the plantation owners required more slaves to work on the huge plantations that used to be there in the south.
