aleksklad [387]2 years ago
3 0

Answer:

The Wilmot Proviso was an unsuccessful 1846 proposal in the United States Congress to ban slavery in territory acquired from Mexico in the Mexican–American War. The conflict over the Wilmot Proviso was one of the major events leading to the American Civil War.

Explanation:

Wilmot Proviso defeated by the Senate for the final time

The Proviso passed the House on multiple occasions, but the staunch slavery supporters in the Senate failed to pass it on multiple occasions.  In short the consensus that the Southern states needed to band together to protect slavery emerged.

Savatey [412]

It showed a shift to a more aggressive stance in the fight for civil rights.  Previous civil rights advocates like Martin Luther King advocated reconciliation and non-violence.  Malcolm X called for a war against their oppressors as well as a separate Black nation.  The Black Panthers also had a similar belief which led them to come in conflict with law enforcement.

In the above quotation, what does Paine mean by the terms "summer soldier" and "sunshine patriot"?
prisoha [69]
During the (first) American revolution, soldiers who joined the Continental Army during the spring or summer but went AWOL in the fall or winter were known as "summer soldiers". 

<span>Many of the "summer soldiers" were farmers who would join up with the Army when their crops were planted, fight with them during the summer, and go back home to help with the harvest. Others would stay with the Army through the harvest, but sneak off in the middle of the night once the weather got cold. </span>

<span>Meanwhile, the people who supported the revolutionaries when the revolution was going well -- but not otherwise -- were called "sunshine patriots". </span>

<span>So in the famous passage from "The Crisis" where Thomas Paine wrote: </span>
<span>The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country </span>
<span>he was talking -- quite literally in the former case -- about the fair-weather friends of the Revolution.</span>
