Since our founding this nation has been built on compromise. The Constitution is riddled with compromises between Big States and Little States, and Free States
and Slave States. Henry Clay deferred a civil war three times with the Missouri
Compromise, Tariff of 1833, and the Compromise of 1850, and is even known as
The Great Compromiser. However, in the 1850s the fight over slavery had
divided the North and South to such degrees that compromise was no long
possible. Kansas bleed because of this, Preston Brooks beat Charles Sumner on
the Senate floor because of this, and John Brown massacred five southerners
because of this. Electing Abraham Lincoln in 1860 was the final straw. It was to
be Disunion and Civil War. Jumping forward to modern times, with everything
that is going on in our nation right now do you believe that compromise is still
possible, or is disunion inevitable just like it was in the 1850s?
