question 4 of 10
what was a part of the crittenden compromise?

a. slavery would be permanently allowed in the south.

b. western territories would outlaw slavery.

c. border states would outlaw slavery.

d. congress would have strict control of the slave trade.

Explanation:

The Crittenden Compromise aimed to resolve sectional tensions over slavery. It proposed that slavery be permanently allowed in the southern states (where it already existed) and that the Missouri Compromise line be extended west, allowing slavery south of it. Option A aligns with this as it included permanent allowance of slavery in the South. Option B is incorrect as western territories below the compromise line would allow slavery. Option C is incorrect as border states weren't required to outlaw slavery. Option D is incorrect as the compromise didn't give Congress strict control of the slave trade.

Answer:

A. Slavery would be permanently allowed in the South.
