Why was the wilmot proviso divisive to congress ?
Katen [24]
<span>a. Southern congressmen opposed the banning of slavery from the new territories

</span><span>Northern states and southern states were at odds over the potential spread of slavery in new states and what that would do to the balance of power in Congress.  <span>
In 1846, Congressman David Wilmot of Pennsylvania introduced the proviso as an amendment to an appropriations bill in connection with the peace treaty being negotiated with Mexico.  His amendment stipulated that any territory gained from Mexico would be free, not allowing slavery.  Wilmot's amendment passed in the House of Representatives, but was unable to get approval in the Senate.  The Compromise of 1850, a package of five bills passed by Congress in September of that year, sought to accommodate some of the issues both South and North were debating over during those years.  But we know that war over the slavery issue was yet to come.</span></span>

How did the Missouri Compromise spark or ignited sectionalism within the United States.
mote1985 [20]

Sectionalism was very much a part of the Missouri Compromise, with two main sections of the country -- North vs. South -- divided over the issue of slavery.

The Missouri Compromise (1820) admitted Missouri into the Union as a slave state with Maine being added at the same time as a free state, to keep the balance of slave and free states equal.  The Missouri Compromise also prohibited any future slave states north of the latitude line 36 1/2 degrees north of the equator in territories of the Louisiana Purchase, with the exception of Missouri (north of that line) being admitted as a slave state.

A couple decades later, that sectional debate was sparked still further by the acquisition of lands from Mexico after the Mexican-American War.  The Mexican Cession was the large region of land that Mexico ceded to the United States in the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo in 1848.  It included territory that would later become the states of California, Nevada, Utah, and parts of what would become Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado and Wyoming.  The Mexican Cession reignited tension on the issue of slave-holding states vs. free states.   Since the Missouri Compromise had specified only the Louisiana Purchase lands with its  36 1/2 degrees latitude dividing line, new debate arose over whether territories in the Mexican Cession territory would be slave or free states.

Vikki [24]
The happenings at the second half of the 20th century paved way for a new conservatism movement. The American people at that time thought that "liberalism had gone too far" which could mainly be attributed to the rise of the civil rights movement and the course of the Cold War.
