Pathetic.
So who was more stupid - the ones who were desperate and foolish enough to try to make a deal with the devil in order to keep the peace? Or the ones who threw away everything because they had a hissy fit over a lost election?
So you are saying that the United States, making slavery permanent and protected by the US Constitution, would have "kept the peace"?
That is an awesome example of cognitive dissonance.
I don't see how protecting slavery in the USA would "keep the peace." John Brown begs to disagree.
But what I do see is that people claiming to be against slavery, yet voting in favor of making slavery stronger legally, are lying hypocrites who do not really care about slavery.
