Was the aim of the Crittenden Compromise of 1860?

The Crittenden Compromise of 1860 aimed to prevent the impending Civil War by proposing constitutional amendments that would protect slavery in southern states and extend the Missouri Compromise line westward. It sought to appease both pro-slavery and anti-slavery factions by ensuring that slaveholding territories would be established. However, the proposal ultimately failed to gain sufficient support in Congress, reflecting the deep divisions within the nation over slavery.
