New Mexico is a state and no territory was gained from them.
David Wilmot
The US gained territory from the war, and the Wilmot Proviso proposed a way to settle the dispute over slavery in the territory.
In the Compromise of 1850, the Mexican Cession territory (excluding California) was to become New Mexico and Utah. Their slave situations were to be determined using popular sovereignty, or the power of the votes of the people to decide if it would be a slave state or not. In addition, the Compromise of 1850 also gave the disputed territory between Texas, a slave state, and New Mexico to New Mexico. This invalidated the previous compromise, the Missouri Compromise, which banned slavery in North of 36 in newly gained territory.
The aim of the Wilmot Proviso was to prohibit slavery in any territory gained from Mexico during the Mexican-American War. It was intended to prevent the expansion of slavery into these newly acquired territories.
Introduced by David Wilmont, the wilmont proviso proposed to ban slavery in any territory gained from, or after the Mexican American War.
The Wilmot Proviso, which was a proposed amendment to legislation arising from the Mexican-American War, aimed to ban slavery in any territory acquired from Mexico. Had the Wilmot Proviso been enacted, it would have made slavery illegal in the territories gained during the Mexican-American War.
