The question of admitting Missouri to the United States divided the nation, because people argued if Missouri should be a slave state or a free state. Debate raged in Congress over a proposal to ban slavery in Missouri. Angry Southerners claimed that the Constitution did not give Congress the power to ban slavery. They worried that free states could form a majority in Congress and ban slavery altogether.
The bill that unsuccessfully attempted to ban slavery in Mexico was The Wilmot Proviso.
The Wilmot Proviso and the Missouri Compromise were pivotal in shaping the national debate over slavery. The Missouri Compromise of 1820 allowed Missouri to enter as a slave state while Maine entered as a free state, maintaining a balance between free and slave states but also setting a precedent for future territorial expansion. In contrast, the Wilmot Proviso of 1846 aimed to ban slavery in territories acquired from Mexico, heightening tensions between the North and South. Together, these measures illustrated the deepening divisions over slavery and influenced the political landscape leading up to the Civil War.
