The Crittenden Resolution, proposed by Senator John J. Crittenden in December 1860, was an attempt to resolve the impending secession crisis in the United States. It aimed to assure the Southern states that their rights to slavery would be protected by constitutional amendments and proposed to extend the Missouri Compromise line westward. Despite its intentions, the resolution failed to garner sufficient support in Congress, reflecting the deep divisions over slavery and ultimately contributing to the escalation of tensions that led to the Civil War.
