As leader of the Republican party, Lincoln was outspoken in his view on slavery, and expressed them during the debates of 1858 which of the following would best fit his position compromise of 1850 Wilmot, Proviso, Kansas, Nebraska act Dred Scott decision

Answer 1

The Wilmot Proviso would best fit Lincoln's position on slavery. The Wilmot Proviso was a proposed piece of legislation that would have banned slavery in any territory acquired from Mexico during the Mexican-American War. Lincoln was opposed to the extension of slavery into new territories, so he likely would have supported the Wilmot Proviso.
