Slavery resolutions of the legislature of South Carolina, relative to the "Wilmot Proviso." Webb, Thomas H. (Hopkins) , 1801-1866 (Creator) This Resolution, approved by both the House and Senate of South Carolina in 1849, resolved that the principles of the Wilmot Proviso would not be applied to the recently acquired Mexican territory. The Wilmot Proviso, passed in the U. S. House of Representatives in 1846 and 1847, resolved that, upon the acquisition of the Mexican territory, "neither slavery nor involuntary servitude shall ever exist in any part of said territory, except for crime, whereof the party shall first be duly convicted." The Wilmot Proviso was never passed in the U. S. Senate. This item was part of Territorial Kansas Online (TKO# 101563).
