What is the Wilmot Proviso (1848) and why is it significant?

History
1 answer:
Komok [63]3 years ago
5 0

Thesis: The purpose of the 1846 Wilmont Proviso was to ban slavery in all acquired territory from the Mexican-American War.

Supports:

1. The US was expected to win territory from Mexico after winning the Mexican-American War (lasted from 1846-1848).

2. There was a divisive problem about whether or not slavery would be allowed in the north, south, both, or not at all in the newly acquired territory. Many northerners felt slavery was wrong and did not want to further expand it in the country. Many southerners acknowledged that slavery upheld their economy and way of life and wanted to see it expand in the US.

3. David Wilmont, in the interest of northern free labor and not abolition, came up with the Wilmont Proviso that would not allow slavery to exist in any part of the newly acquired former Mexican territory.

What is the philosophy behind active resistance?
Tomtit [17]
Passive resistance commonly refers to actions of nonviolent protest or resistance to authority. The central feature is the conscious choice by the actors to abstain from a violent response even in the face of violent aggression. The term came into common use during the independence struggle in India between the 1920s and 1948. It has been used widely by groups who lack formal authority or position and has sometimes been called the “weapon of the weak.<span>”


</span><span>Active resistance can be two things depending upon the application of the term. In criminal justice, active resistance means a law enforcement officer coming into contact with someone who physically counters what the officer is attempting to do. In governmental philosophy, active resistance is defined as anarchism against a state or government for the purposes of disrupting the established order.</span><span>
