Slavery Question

[Mark Graber]

Well, in 1861, Congress proposed a proslavery amendment that was
ratified by three northern states before the Civil War made matters
irrelevant.

Do we have any evidence that if Congress had proposed an anti-slavery
amendment anytime before the Civil War that it could have been ratified
by 3/4 of the state legislatures or, more importantly, state
conventions?

Thanks in advance!
