He rejected the final compromise because it would have allowed some new slave-states.
Lincoln's election - followed immediately by the secession of South Carolina, and then Lincoln's rejection of the final attempted compromise, because it would have allowed some extension of slavery.
The final major legislative effort to prevent the Civil War was the Crittenden Compromise, proposed by Senator John J. Crittenden in late 1860. This plan aimed to resolve the secession crisis by extending the Missouri Compromise line westward and allowing slavery in territories south of the line while prohibiting it to the north. Despite its attempt to appease both pro-slavery and anti-slavery factions, it failed to garner sufficient support in Congress and was ultimately rejected. This failure underscored the deep divisions in the nation, leading to the outbreak of the Civil War in 1861.
Yes. Lincoln rejected the final (Crittenden) compromise, because it would have allowed some extension of slavery.
In the over-heated political atmosphere, dominated by extremists, only the compromise candidate Lincoln was electable. But even he couldn't keep the country out of war. South Carolina immediately seceded. A final compromise was offered to Lincoln, but he rejected it because it would have allowed some extension of slavery.
The newly-elected Lincoln had rejected the final compromise, because it would have allowed some new slave-states. This meant that the South were doomed to be out-voted in Congress, which would keep passing laws unfavourable to the South.
