General Taylor And The Wilmot Proviso (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781162996240)

""General Taylor And The Wilmot Proviso"" is a historical book written by General Zachary Taylor. The book discusses the political climate of the mid-19th century and the debate over slavery in the United States. Specifically, the book focuses on the Wilmot Proviso, a proposed amendment to a spending bill that would have banned slavery in any territory acquired from Mexico during the Mexican-American War. General Taylor, who was a military leader during this time, opposed the Wilmot Proviso and believed that it would only exacerbate tensions between the North and South. The book provides insight into the perspectives of both Northern and Southern politicians and the events leading up to the Civil War. It also sheds light on General Taylor's political beliefs and his role in shaping the political landscape of the time. Overall, ""General Taylor And The Wilmot Proviso"" is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of the United States and the debate over slavery.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
