Crittendens compromise
It would reinstate the Missouri Compromise line, extending it to the California border. Slavery would be prohibited to the north of the line and protected south of the line.
Both Northerners and Southerners rejected John Crittenden's compromise because it failed to adequately address the deep-seated divisions over slavery. Northerners opposed the extension of slavery into new territories, while many Southerners felt the compromise did not go far enough in protecting their rights to slavery. Additionally, the political climate was highly polarized, and both sides were unwilling to make concessions, leading to a lack of support for the proposal. Ultimately, the compromise could not bridge the growing chasm between the two regions.
Northerners rejected John Crittenden's compromise because it proposed the extension of the Missouri Compromise line, allowing slavery in territories north of the line, which contradicted their anti-slavery stance. Southerners, while initially supportive, ultimately opposed it due to fears that it did not go far enough in protecting slavery in all territories. The growing sectional tensions and the belief that compromises were inadequate to address the moral and political divisions over slavery led both sides to reject the proposal.
