Abraham Lincon because it undercut the gains made by the 1860 election
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.
Because the newly-elected Lincoln would not agree to any extension of slavery. So the final attempt at compromise failed.
England and America came to the agreement of a boundry line of 49 degrees49 Parallel
A desperate final attempt, as in We're making a last-ditch effort to finish on time. This expression alludes to the military sense of last ditch, "the last line of defense." Its figurative use dates from the early 1800s.
The northerners regarded slaves as property who should receive no representation. Southerners demanded that Blacks be counted with whites. The compromise clearly reflected the strength of the pro-slavery forces at the convention. The “Three-fifths Compromise” allowed a state to count three fifths of each Black person in determining political representation in the House.
