AP US History
Unit 5 – Civil War and Reconstruction, 1848–1877
Topic 5.3
How might have American political landscape changed if Wilmot Proviso was passed in both House and Senate?
No significant effect because most northern states were already free and southern ones were slave-owning regions.
Slavery would've been abolished peacefully without need for a civil war later on.
It could've intensified conflicts over slavery expansion thereby hastening onset of Civil War.
Democratic Party would've emerged as dominant party due to Northern support for abolitionism.
