Why did both northerners and southerners reject john crittendens compromise?

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.
