Answer 1

The attempt in 1860 to keep Southern states in the Union was known as the "Crittenden Compromise." Proposed by Senator John J. Crittenden, it aimed to address the concerns of Southern states by suggesting constitutional amendments that would protect slavery in existing slave states and allow it in territories south of a certain line. However, the compromise ultimately failed to gain sufficient support and was rejected by Congress.
