Live in your little Lost Cause dream world if you care, but the Critterton Compromise was a vain, last ditch effort to avoid war, had no chance of acceptance by the states, and without secession mearly affirmed the existing Constitutional reality that only the States could end slavery. Lincoln did not push for it as you falsly imply time after time. He only stated the obvious, that it made no difference if it passed or not, that he had no intention to interfer with slavery where it then existed, and he would not oppose this meaningless admendment if that is what lawmakers wanted to do.

Why don't you accept the reality that your ancestor heroes only "honest" complaint about Lincoln was his refusal to allow further expansion of their precious "peculiar institution" and the enormous wealth they generated and commanded via the trade in human flesh was threatened if slavery was confined to its existing boundries.

BTW. Did I mention that you are very much insane, and should see a good doctor. They can help you.
