How did the proposals in the Crittenden Compromise seek to avoid secession of the southern states? Select the two correct responses.

A. One proposal included reduced tariffs for the southern states.

B. One proposal included clear boundaries for where slavery could and couldn't exist.

C. One proposal included in the implementation of the Anaconda Plan.

D. One proposal included a clause to compensate slave owners if fugitives could not be returned.

Answer:B) One proposal ( ...) could not exist.

D) One proposal ( ...) could not be returned.

Explanation: The 36 degree 30 latitude N line would separate the slave territories from the abolitionists; all states would be subject to the federal regime and the new states would be admitted with or without slavery as decided by their particular constitutions.

On the other hand, Congress would have to pay slave owners, in accordance with the law, the total value of any runaway slave who did not return because of the Nordic opposition.

B. "One proposal "included clear boundaries" for where slavery could and couldn't exist".

D. "One proposal "included a clause to compensate slave owners" if fugitives could not be returned".

Explanation:

The latitudes and degrees separated the line for territories of the abolitionists. Every state was a subject of the regime federation as the new status was admitted without slavery. This was, however, decided by the specific constitution.

However, congress was supposed to pay the slave owners in accordance with the law. The "total number of slave" nevertheless did not match due to Nordic oppositions that arose. Despite the widespread support of Crittenden, the congress did not enact his proposal; however, the incoming secretary reviewed the proposal and backed his plan.
