QUESTIONS WITH VERIFIED ANSWERS
What were the provisions of the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo? - Answer-Mexico ceded
land to the US that included what are now the states of California, Utah, & Nevada, as
well as most of New Mexico and Arizona, and parts of Colorado and Wyoming. Mexico
agreed to the Rio Grande as the southern border of Texas. The US agreed to pay
Mexico $15 million and take over $3.5 million in debt that the Mexican government
owed American citizens.
Explain how the government dealt with slavery in the territories acquired after the war
with Mexico. - Answer-In August 1846, Representative David Wilmot proposed the
Wilmot Proviso. It said that in any territory the US gained from Mexico wouldn't
participate in slavery. Southerners were outraged by the this. The W.P. passed in the
House of Representatives, but the Senate refused to vote on it. So Senator Lewis
proposed popular sovereignty. This meant that the citizens of each new territory would
decide whether or not slavery was permitted.
P.S. appealed to many congress members. It removed issue from national politics.
Abolitionists argued that it still denied African Americans their right to be free.
List the major features of the Compromise of 1850. - Answer-1.) California was admitted
to the Union as a free state. The rest of the Mexican cession would have no restrictions
on slavery.

federal government took on Texas's debts. 3.) The slave trade was abolished in the

slave trade.

thousands of settlers to the territory. By the end of 1849, nearly 80,000 "Forty-Niners"
arrived in the territory in search for gold.
Explain how Americans responded to the idea of popular sovereignty. - Answer-It
seemed democratic. Abolitionist argued it still denied African American their rights not to
