The correct answer is A) prohibit slavery from all territory acquired from Mexico.
In 1846, Congressman David Wilmot proposed to prohibit slavery from all territory acquired from Mexico.
After the United States won the Mexican-American War (1846-1848), it gained large territories. The Wilmot Proviso tried to eliminate the use of slaves in those recently acquired lands. It was David Wilmot, a Congressman from the state of Pennsylvania, who proposed the the proviso.
David Wilmot was a representative from Pennsylvania in the United States Congress, who introduced this legislation to the House on August 8, 1846. In the end, the proviso was not successful and this represented a major cause for the American Civil War.
Answer:
The statement is true. Emily Dickison stayed for most of his life in his family's residence in Amherst, Massachusetts, and rarely left her house.
She dedicated most of her time to write poetry, and correspondence with a few friends, who rarely visited her (and Emily was not fond of visits either).
During the latter part of her life, she mostly stayed in her bedroom, probably also because she was suffering from an acute kidney disease that ended up killing her when she was 55 years old.
Congress does not seem very diverse. Examples might include:
• The 113th Congress has only one African American senator.
• The clear majority of both houses is male, through women make up almost half of the US population.
• Ethnic minorities only make up 17% of congress.
