John Crittenden is the correct answer. He rejected the final compromise effort to stop secession. Crittenden, a senator from Kentucky, proposed a series of constitutional amendments that aimed to prevent secession and protect slavery. However, Republicans, including Abraham Lincoln, rejected the plan because it undermined the gains made by the 1860 election, in which they opposed the expansion of slavery.
