Considering it a last-ditch effort to prevent the looming Civil War, supporters of the Corwin Amendment hoped it would prevent the southern states that had not already done so from seceding from the Union. Ironically, Abraham Lincoln did not oppose the measure.

View attachment 1018258Thomas Corwin (July 29, 1794 – December 18, 1865), also known as Tom Corwin, The Wagon Boy, and Black Tom was a politician from the state of Ohio. He represented Ohio in both houses of Congress and served as the 15th governor of Ohio and the 20th Secretary of the Treasury. After affiliating with the Whig Party, he joined the Republican Party in the 1850s. Corwin is best known for his sponsorship of the proposed Corwin Amendment, which was presented in an unsuccessful attempt to avoid the oncoming American Civil War.
Thomas Corwin
In 1860, he was chairman of the House "Committee of Thirty-three", consisting of one member from each state, and appointed to consider the condition of the nation and, if possible, to devise some scheme for reconciling the North and the South in the secessionist crisis following the election of Abraham Lincoln to the presidency. To that end, he sponsored a proposed Constitutional Amendment, which later became known as the Corwin Amendment, which forbade the Federal Government from outlawing slavery.

We are still friends to this very day.When we moved to NorCal in the mid '80s, my daughter quickly made friends with Ketisha and Teniqua. The girls were about 10 at the time.

White Christian Conservatives made up the majority of the Democrat Party prior to the Civil Rights Era. Lest you forget the Freeman were hardly welcome in the North either. Nor should you forget it was the Northern Democrats and Northern Republicans who passed the civil rights act of 64. Republicans in the Rebel states, like the Democrats. nearly all voted against it. Thus began the schism in the Democrat party that eventually lead the Republicans gaining power in the South and supplanting the Democrats control of the Rebel states.Lets never forget. Dems are the party of slavery and segregation.
