A new compromise was put forward, but Lincoln rejected it because it would have allowed some extension of slavery.
The Crittenden Compromise was the name given to the attempt in 1860 to get Southern states to stay in the Union.

Abraham Lincoln, because it underact the gains made by the 1860 election
Sectional compromise did not work in 1860 for many reasons. One of them being that this was the time during the great potato famine in Ireland, so the refugees cascaded into the northern states in the 1850's. Therefore, the north had no room. Once the Europeans were in America, they had no desire for the practice of slavery, and the north states were not convinced to compromise over slavery. The new compromise was put out for grabs, but Lincoln rejected it because he would not allow the extension of slavery. Also, the Crittenden Compromise would allow new slave states, but Lincoln would not accept this, either.
there wasnt 1 there really wasnt 1. they just fought
the great compromise wasnt fair, but it was better than they already had.
To prevent the government from taking away the rights of slaveholders

Because the last-minute Crittenden Compromise would have allowed the possibility of new slave-states. Lincoln would not accept this.
The crittenden compromise :) apex I got you
It was one last attempt at a compromise before the inevitable Civil War. Senator John Crittenden was trying to extend the 36 30 line. the compromise was impossible, but it was one last attempt to save the Union.
