wilmot proviso

What was the unstated goal of the Wilmot Proviso?

Southerners opposed the Wilmot Proviso. This is because the Wilmot Proviso established peace with Mexico, and the land that Mexico owned was in the South.

The proviso scene in "The Way of the World" by William Congreve is a key moment where the character Mirabell obtains a proviso (conditional clause) from Lady Wishfort to secure his marriage to Millamant. This scene showcases the intricate plotting and manipulation that are characteristic of restoration comedy, as Mirabell cleverly navigates the social conventions and relationships of the characters to achieve his goal. It also highlights the themes of power, deception, and wit that are central to the play.
