I haven't seen much evidence they've ever been fans of the Constitution. Before 1860 they were rational, but since then they've tried to break everything.

Constitution had two conflicting ideas on slavery. Slavery accepted in one part, against everyone has right to life, liberty....

Blame civil war on those that put this impossible compromise into constitution.

The tolerance of slavery before 1864 was a compromise necessary to create an otherwise unified nation. Compromise is still necessary to keep us together, but half of us seem less willing to compromise. That can't end well.

2 nations should have been formed. Nice you want to compromise with slavery, with a woman watching her children be sold to different plantations.

Some things you can't compromise on. Thank God for th9se that won't on certain issues.

On mandatory vaccines, why not just for males? Good compromise?

Two smaller nations, one industrial and one agricultural, wouldn't have survived. England would have come back, or France, or Spain, or eventually Mexico. Survival depends on strength, nor righteousness.

The lunatic fringe always make the most noise, as they steer the ship over the falls.
