The Crittenden Compromise (December 18, 1860) was an unsuccessful proposal byKentucky Senator John J. Crittenden to resolve the U.S. secession crisis of 1860-1861 by addressing the concerns that led the states in the Deep South of the United States to contemplate secession from the United States.
Where there only thirteen colonies when the civil war occurred?
The Civil War occurred AFTER the American Revolution, so those thirteen "original" colonies had long since become STATES. At the time the Civil War broke out in 1861, there were 33 states, of which 18 were "free" states and 15 were "slave" states.

What day did the 11 U.S states secede?
They did not all go out on the same day. The first was South Carolina, on December 20, 1860. By February, 1861, six more states from the deep south had also seceded. The other four of the upper south did not go out until after the firing on Fort Sumter. The day after Sumter surrendered Lincoln called on those states of the upper south to help fight the states of the lower south, so they had to chose whether to stay in the union and fight their neighbors, or go out and join with them. The last was North Carolina, on May 18, after Virginia and Tennessee had also done so, leaving them "surrounded" by states of the Confederacy.
