What was proposed December 1860?

In December 1860, the Crittenden Compromise was proposed by Senator John J. Crittenden in an attempt to avert the impending Civil War. This compromise sought to extend the Missouri Compromise line westward and protect slavery in southern territories while banning it in the north. It aimed to reconcile the differences between pro-slavery and anti-slavery factions, but ultimately failed to gain sufficient support in Congress. The proposal highlighted the deep divisions in American society at the time, which would soon erupt into conflict.


What about slavery above north of the line of Missouri compromise?

North of that line, slavery was illegal in all the territories of the Louisiana Purchase, according to the Missouri Compromise. The acquisition of the new territories from Mexico required a new Compromise (1850) and this one did not work. Stephen Douglas of Illinois proposed the Kansas-Nebraska Act, which allowed the people of each state to vote whether to be slave or free. The voting in Kansas caused bloodshed, and it was not tried again. But the imminent Civil War would spell the end of slavery throughout the USAin any case.
