Southerners were outraged at John Brown's attempt to steal weapons and ultimately free slaves, while northerners called him a hero and martyr. They believed that he died to for the cause of the abolition of slavery.
He was a thot- Tyson Mayfield of Kansas XDXDXD
Many northerners saw John Brown as an abolitionist martyr, dying in a righteous cause. Most southerners saw him as a terrorist, using violent means to further his extreme agenda. The South geared up its militia training, as a result.
Some northerners came to admire him for trying to end slavery. :)

Because they thought he was trying to do the right thing
Because he was a White abolitionist leading blacks and whites in rebellion, trying to free slaves! His actions terrified Southerners as they thought he was the start of more rebellion and strife. Northerners, in turn, glorified him for his actions against the moral evils of slavery and sang the song 'John Browns Body' as they marched into battle

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.
