No. It would just have started the war earlier.
The war started eventually, because the prospect of new slave-states was ended byLincoln's victory in the 1860 election.
The prospect of new slave-states would have been ended much sooner, if the Wilmot Proviso had been passed.
The US Civil War was delayed by the Missouri Compromise, but not avoided,
No, it was not avoided. It occurred.
The Wilmot Proviso qualifies as such. It however, was one of the leading causes of the American Civil War (1861-1865)
anyone know two ways that war can be avoided.
The Compromise of 1850 was a direct result of the Wilmot Proviso. This was one of the main events leading up to the American Civil War.
The Wilmot Proviso, which was one one event that lead up to the American Civil War, would have banned slavery in new territories and land.
Proposed that slavery be banned in land acquired from the Mexican War. The proviso pushed the country closer to civil war; it raised questions about slaves that had not been asked previously
If only the South would have granted freedom to the slaves.......
The Civil War could have been avoided in various ways. There had to be an agreement on how the government would be run that would have eliminated slavery, yet preserved prospects for occasional minority rule by bigots of all stripes, the utterly stupid and the irredeemably inhumane....
Wilmot Proviso caused the conflict between the North and South which later lead to the American Civil War. He made a proposal at Congress which was an extreme Abolitionist stance and polarised the two fractions.
The Wilmot Proviso, introduced in 1846, aimed to ban slavery in territories acquired from Mexico, intensifying the sectional conflict between the North and South. It galvanized opposition from Southern states, who viewed it as a direct threat to the institution of slavery and their economic interests. The failure to pass the Proviso highlighted the deepening divide over slavery, contributing to the rise of sectional parties and ultimately setting the stage for the Civil War. Its debates underscored the irreconcilable differences that would erupt into conflict in 1861.
