A Divided Nation. in 1894 President Zachary Taylor faced a national crisis. Thanks to the Wilmot Proviso, a bill introduced in Congress to prevent slaver in any territory acquired from Mexico, discussions over the question of slavery's expansion ruled politics. Sectional debate dominated the 31st Congress that assembled on December 3. In the House of Representatives surrounded by 112 Democrats, 105 Whigs, thirteen Free Soldiers held the balance of power. Southern Whigs, led by Georgians Alexander H. Stephens and Robert Toombs, opposed the Whig candidate for Speaker, Robert C. Winthrop of Massachusetts, because the Whig caucus had refused to oppose the Wilmot Proviso.
