The Crittenden Compromise was a proposal in December 1860 to end the conflict over slavery in the US. It suggested that slavery would be permanently allowed in the South and in all future territories south of the dividing line of 36° 36' N latitude. This was the northern border of the Indian Territories (Oklahoma) and New Mexico territory.
It proposed four constitutional amendments and related laws, with the unusual stipulation, likely unconstitutional itself, that they could never be repealed.
The proposal was defeated in the US House and Senate in early 1861. Seven states had already seceded. The later Corwin Amendment was passed, allowing slavery in the South, but was too late to prevent the rest of the South from joining the Confederacy.
