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.

Why does schlafly believe that the equal rights amendment will actually harm women?
Bezzdna [24]
It would degrade the role of wife and mother--The Equal Rights Amendment would secure women's place in the economy and therefore out of the home. 

Phyllis Schlafly believed the ERA would encourage women to enter the workforce instead of take care of their home and children. That role was the most important for women and they had the natural ability to do that job. The ERA would tear apart families and encourage immoral behavior among women. It would also force women to sign up for the draft which Schlafly and many women believed was an improper place for women.
