Abraham Lincoln - Lincoln and the Republicans rejected the proposed Crittenden Compromise
Time: 1860
Place: U.S.
Details: Attempts at compromise followed but Lincoln and the Republicans rejected the proposed Crittenden Compromise as contrary to the Party's platform of free-soil in the territories. Lincoln said, "I will suffer death before I consent ... to any concession or compromise which looks like buying the privilege to take possession of this government to which we have a constitutional right."
