[2] However, not all opposition to the Crittenden Compromise also opposed further territorial expansion of the United States; the February 6, 1861 New York Times referred to "the whole future growth of the Republic" and "all the Territory that can ever belong to the United States, — the whole of Mexico and Central America".
