Best Answer

The South was unhappy about the increasing difficulty of creating new slave-states. It looked as though they would always be outvoted in Congress, which would tend to pass laws that favoured the North at their expense.

The North was not happy about the other half of the bargain - the Fugitive Slave Act, which was the big gesture of appeasement of the South, that they'd had to agree in order to get the Compromise accepted. This Act turned ordinary citizens into unpaid slave-catchers, which they greatly resented. (It caused Harriet Beecher Stowe to write 'Uncle Tom's Cabin' in protest.)
