History

ipn [44]3 years ago

The man who proposed this is named David Wilmot. Wilmot was a Congressman during the time when the US received Arizona, California, New Mexico, and parts of Utah/Colorado from Mexico after the Mexican-American War. Wilmot's goal was to not let the institution of slavery expand any further. His suggestion to ban slavery gained by these new territories was known as the Wilmot Proviso. This never becomes law, as it is passed by the House of Representatives but is never passed by the US Senate.

The city moving the farthest up the top ten rankings between 1850 and 1880 was
VashaNatasha [74]
In population rankings of cities in the United States, Chicago moved up the furthest in the top ten rankings between 1850 and 1880. 

In 1850, Chicago wasn't even in the top ten list.  Chicago's population in 1850 was only around 30,000.  But by 1880, the city of Chicago had expanded rapidly, to a population of over 500,000 and into the #3 spot on the list of America's largest cities.   (On some lists, you might see Chicago as #4 on the list at that time, but that's if they count New York and Brooklyn separately rather than counting the New York metropolitan area as a unit.)
