Why was the wilmot proviso divisive to congress? a) northern congressman wanted slavery to spread to new territories b) southern congressman wanted slaves to have the same rights as freed men c) northern congressman believed they should make all the decisions about slaves d) southern congressman opposed the banning of slavery from the new territories

        i'm fairly sure that the correct answers are 2 and 3.

        i used both my knowledge of world history and the process of elimination to obtain these answers. option 1 cannot be a possible selection because the mandate of heaven belongs to ancient chinese philosophical belief. option 4 sounds like it would benefit the region than detriment it. however, both 2 and 3 explain a potential reason for what could have contributed to the fall of the roman empire.

      hope this ! if i were you, i'd get a second opinion, because i haven't taken this course for a year. best of luck!
