Southern members of Congress resisted antislavery efforts through a variety of means. They argued in favor of states' rights, claiming that the federal government did not have the authority to interfere with slavery. They also used their voting power to block or delay legislation aimed at restricting or abolishing slavery. Furthermore, they attempted to maintain a united front by forming alliances with other pro-slavery representatives.
