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.

The attempt in 1860 to persuade Southern states to remain in the Union was known as the "Crittenden Compromise." Proposed by Senator John J. Crittenden, it aimed to resolve the sectional conflict by offering constitutional amendments that would protect slavery in Southern states and extend the Missouri Compromise line westward. However, the proposal ultimately failed to gain sufficient support and highlighted the deep divisions in the country leading up to the Civil War.
Because the newly-elected Lincoln would not agree to any extension of slavery. So the final attempt at compromise failed.
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.
