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.

Which of these scenarios is most similar to the Aztec Empire's system of<br> agriculture?
7nadin3 [17]

A. A farmer watches the sun's patterns to determine the best time to plant his crops.  

B. A farmer plants many different crops in his field to make sure at least some of them thrive in the soil.  

C. A farmer plants the same crops in his field every year because the soil has always supported them in the past.  

D. A farmer observes the behavior of his animals to determine when to begin harvesting crops.

<u>Answer:</u>

Option A, A farmer watches the patterns of the sun to determine the best time to plant his crops (APEX).

<u>Explanation: </u>

Chinampas were built for Aztec agriculture in the middle of the empire. Chinampa is a form of cultivation that tiny, rectangular regions used to cultivate in the Mexican Valley on the deep lake beds. In essence, Chinampas were remote planting islands.

Maize was also known as maice, and the most common grain planted by the Aztecs was also the maize.  Maize can be preserved for a long time, but can be pounded in flour and turned into other foods, in contrast to being consumed as it was.

In Aztec agriculture, Squash was yet another important crop.  Aztec farmers have used many squash varieties depending on how they can be used properly as a food source.  For starters, the pumpkin was often used because its seeds contained a lot of protein.  And the flask was developed, as it could be used as a water jug after being consumed.
