The South opposed the Wilmot Proviso because it would have prevented any new territories from having slavery in them.
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. The specific language of the proviso went like this:
<span><em>Provided, That, as an express and fundamental condition to the acquisition of any territory from the Republic of Mexico by the United States, by virtue of any treaty which may be negotiated between them, and to the use by the Executive of the moneys herein appropriated, neither slavery nor involuntary servitude shall ever exist in any part of said territory, except for crime, whereof the party shall first be duly convicted</em>.

Wilmot's amendment passed in the House of Representatives, but was unable to get approval in the Senate. The high-intensity debate over slavery and the expansion of slavery was evidenced by how things went with the "Wilmot Proviso."

Explanation:
In U.S. history, the Reconstruction (1863-1877) was the period that followed the Amerian Civil War and during which important social changes and changes in civil rights occurred; indeed during the Reconstruction rights were guaranteed to free slaves and those states that had belonged to the Confederacy were integrated again. However, these changes were still opposed by some, especially by those that lived in the south and wanted to preserved the traditions and white supremacy that existed before the Civil War and because of this the Redeemers were created which refer to a coalition of those white southerners that oppose the changes of the Reconstruction and aimed at getting power and continue with the white supremacy stopping the changes of the Reconstruction, also they oppose the carpetbagger and scalawags that supported the Reconstruction. Therefore, the term used to refer to the southerners that tired to overturn the changes of the Reconstruction was Redeemers.
