Proviso Abstraction Debate Over California Slavery Exclusion
The text argues that the 1787 ordinance excluding slavery north and west of the Ohio should apply to California and New Mexico, not be treated as an abstract principle. It cites the Missouri Compromise era, asserts the compact among states to exclude slavery, and questions why California should be exempt from a policy applied to prior territories. It warns against reopening the question via Supreme Court review and urges immediate adoption of the free soil standard.
