Congressional Scales, 1850 Congressional Scales, 1850 The question of how a war with Mexico might unbalance the nation politically weighed heavily on people's minds as the nation entered the 1850s. In this cartoon, lithographer Nathaniel Currier--who later would found the famous graphic art company Currier and Ives--illustrates the problem. Trying to balance the Wilmot Proviso against Southern Rights, the president seeks to keep congressional representatives from the North and the South in balance as well.

Zachary Taylor and 4,000 men to the Rio Grande (Mexico believes the border is the Nueces River) April 25, 1846 Mexican troops kill 11 Americans “They have spilled American blood on American soil!!!” Spot resolution (Abraham Lincoln) US declares war Slavery again becomes a huge issue (Wilmot Proviso) War with Mexico!

Charles Sumner “The lives of Mexicans are sacrificed in this cause; and a domestic question, which should be reserved for the bloodless debate in our own country, is transferred to the fields of battle in a foreign land.” What does he mean by this?
