Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Wilmot Proviso proposed to ban slavery from all territory acquired from Mexico, which would have prevented the expansion of slavery into new territories. It did not address the issue of slavery in the South or offer the territories the power to decide on slavery for themselves. The idea of extending the Missouri Compromise line was discussed, but was not a part of the Wilmot Proviso.
