General Taylor and the Wilmot Proviso is a historical book written by General Zachary Taylor, a former President of the United States. The book is about the political controversy surrounding the Wilmot Proviso, a proposed amendment to a bill that would have banned slavery in any territory acquired from Mexico during the Mexican-American War. General Taylor, who was a military commander during the war, provides his perspective on the events leading up to the proposal of the Wilmot Proviso and the debates that followed. He also shares his thoughts on the impact of the Proviso on the war effort and the future of the country.The book is a valuable historical document that sheds light on the complex political climate of the mid-19th century and the tensions between the North and South over the issue of slavery. It provides readers with a unique insight into the mind of a prominent military leader and politician of the time.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
