The Wilmot Proviso, one of the major events leading to the American Civil War, it would have banned slavery in any territory to be acquired from Mexico in the Mexican War or in the future, including the area later known as the Mexican Cession, but which some proponents construed to also include the disputed lands in south Texas and New Mexico east of the Rio Grande. 

<span>This was controversial between the Southern and Northern states, because this allowed the Union to always have more representatives in the House of Representatives and would make sure that the Union could control the Southern states and vote against anything will slavery. </span>

<span>The Wilmot Proviso was a more-or-less religious declaration that slavery wouldnot be permitted in any of the new territories that were likely to be admittedto the USA.
 This would increase Northern dominance of Congress, and enable moreraising of taxes on imports - the big controversy in the South, which had nomanufacturing industry, and depended largely on imported goods.

klemol [59]

The answer is  Thomas Paine's Common Sense, 1776.

<h2>About Thomas Paine's Common Sense, 1776.</h2>

Political philosopher and author Thomas Paine, who was born in England, advocated uprisings in both America and Europe. The first booklet to promote American freedom was "Common Sense," which was published in 1776 to widespread acclaim.

In his 47-page treatise Common Sense[1], Thomas Paine argued for the Thirteen Colonies' independence from Great Britain in 1775–1776. Paine assembled moral and political reasons in his writing, which was clear and powerful, to persuade regular people in the Colonies to strive for egalitarian government. At the start of the American Revolution, on January 10, 1776[2,] it was written anonymously and quickly went viral.
