John Jordan Crittenden (American National Biography)

Scholarship
Thomas E. Stephens, "Crittenden, John Jordan," American National Biography Online, February 2000, http://www.anb.org/articles/03/03-00117.html.
Elected to the Senate again in 1854, Crittenden strove against the resurgence of the slavery issue brought about by the Kansas-Nebraska Act. Assuming the role of the deceased Clay, Crittenden attempted to alleviate sectional tension with conciliation. He spoke thoughtfully and eloquently on the need for compromise and an end to the growing stridency of his fellow senators. He helped found the Constitutional Union party that nominated John Bell for president in 1860.
