So since we are talking about what they tried to do to preserve the Union we would list attempts that they made to keep the people later known as the Confederates as part of the Union, we would have to choose the Missouri Compromise (which allowed Missouri to be accepted into the Union as a slave state if Maine would be allowed as a free state to keep the balance between slave and non slave states) and Compromise of 1850 (which was 5 bills that were made in an attempt to settle the disputes between slave and nonslave states over the territories that were gained during the Mexican Amercian war)
