The correct answer is a ban on slavery in territories gained from Mexico.

After the Mexican American War, the United States gained a significant amount of territory. This included modern day California, Arizona, New Mexico, Utah, and Colorado. The question with these new territories was whether or not the institution of slavery would exist. This caused heated debates between Northerners and Southerners. David Wilmot, a Pennsylvania Congressman, thought that slavery should not exist in these new territories and introduced the Wilmot Proviso. This would not pass in Congress. Instead the Compromise of 1850 would determine the fate of slavery in these new territories.
