Question

True

False

Answer 1

True. Neither the Crittenden Compromise nor the Corwin Amendment was passed by the Senate. The Crittenden Compromise, proposed in late 1860, aimed to avert the Civil War but failed to gain sufficient support in Congress. The Corwin Amendment, which sought to prevent Congress from abolishing or interfering with slavery in states where it already existed, was passed by the House but ultimately did not pass the Senate.
