Topic	John Kelly: 'The lack of an ability to compromise led to the Civil War'

The country repeatedly compromised throughout its history. Compromise did not prevent the Civil War. The Civil War war was caused by the South seceding and attacking a military base because they were convinced that Lincoln would end slavery. Hilariously, some idiots in the southern states still call it the War of Northern Aggression. It's like, you guys know you attacked first, right? It was a lack of the ability to compromise for either end. Or at least it would be if it weren't in reference to owning humans, as I said. Sometimes you shouldn't compromise, but it is technically true to say that if both sides were able to compromise that the civil war wouldn't have happened. It's just morally objectionable to compromise over the value of human lives. --- "We're not even close" - Romans building Rome at the end of Day 1 <cite>Smarkil posted [p:889518079] in John Kelly...
