History

Ostrovityanka [42]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

<h2>The Wilmot Proviso was an attempt to prohibit slavery in territories acquired after the Mexican-American War.</h2>

Explanation:

In 1846, Congressman David Wilmot of Pennsylvania introduced the proviso as an amendment to an appropriations bill in connection with the peace treaty being negotiated with Mexico.  His amendment stipulated that any territory gained from Mexico would be free, not allowing slavery.  Wilmot's amendment passed in the House of Representatives, but was unable to get approval in the Senate.

Wilmot's reason for his proposal was not because he was defending the cause of blacks or seeking to outlaw slavery. In a speech he delivered in the House of Representatives in 1847, Wilmot said: "I make no war upon the South nor upon slavery in the South. I have no squeamish sensitiveness upon the subject of slavery, nor morbid sympathy for the slave. I plead the cause of the rights of white freemen. I would preserve for free white labor a fair country, a rich inheritance, where the sons of toil, of my own race and own color, can live without the disgrace which association with Negro slavery brings upon free labor."

Which statement best summarizes the Vietnamese resistance to French authority in Indochina during the 19th century?
Mamont248 [21]

The correct answer is A. It led France to withdraw troops from Indochina but inspire friends to do it indirectly rule Vietnam.

Explanation

The Indochina War was a colonial conflict that took place in Southeast Asia from 1946 to 1954 in which H.o Chi Mi.nh's Vi.et Mi.nh army fought against the rule of France. One of the main causes was the claim of independence from French Indochina. As a result of this war, France was defeated in 1954, so it had to withdraw its dominance from this region. Later, the Geneva Conference decided to separate Vietnam into two sovereign states and hold a referendum a year later for the Vietnamese to decide between reunification or final separation. However, this referendum was not carried out due to the non-compliance of South Vietnam (which was influenced by the French rule), so from there the Vietnam War and the American influence (allying with France) in Vietnam of the South. According to the above, the correct answer is A.
