USA civil war

A pre-war February Peace Conference of 1861 met in Washington

Monday Feb 4, 1861
Washington, United States

A pre-war February Peace Conference of 1861 met in Washington, proposing a solution similar to that of the Crittenden compromise; it was rejected by Congress. The Republicans proposed an alternative compromise to not interfere with slavery where it existed but the South regarded it as insufficient.
