Wilmot Proviso, in U.S. history, important congressional proposal in the 1840s to prohibit the extension of slavery into the territories, a basic plank upon which the Republican Party was subsequently built. Soon after the Mexican War, Pres. James K. Polk asked Congress for $2,000,000 to negotiate peace and settle the boundary with Mexico. In behalf of anti-slavery forces throughout the country, a Democratic congressman from Pennsylvania named David Wilmot offered an amendment (August 8, 1846) to the bill forbidding slavery in the new territory, thus precipitating bitter national debate in an atmosphere of heightening sectional conflict. Despite repeated attempts, the Wilmot Proviso was never passed by both houses of Congress. But out of the attempt by both Democrats and Whigs to subordinate or compromise the slavery issue grew the Republican Party, founded in 1854, which specifically supported the Wilmot principle.

The Missouri Compromise of 1820 was a compromise passed by the congress that when a slave state, Missouri, was admitted a free state, Maine, also was admitted to keep a balance.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
The Missouri Compromise was passed in 1820. It was made because some people believed in pro-slavery or anti-slavery in the US. In 1819 the people of Missouri territory requested Missouri to be a slave state which made the balance uneven between free states and slave states in the US. Congress decided to make Missouri's request come true but also made Maine a free state out of territory of northern Massachusetts. It passed an amendment that split across the Louisiana territory making a boundary of free and slave territory for future western states. The Missouri compromise made everything north of the 36, 30 parallel line, except Missouri, would be free states or territories, everything south would be open to having slaves.

This compromise was an effort to keep balance of power. It helped a lot in the slave and free states. It was the first move to limit slavery in the United States. The Missouri compromise lasted for three decades.It helped keep the slavery issue from leading to war. I think the Missouri Compromise was a good choice that was put in place but it could not last. Eventually America was faced with solving the divide of slavery and eventually America would be divided in a Civil War.
