Further, more sane individuals proposed compensating slave owners, in the North and South both, by paying them for each and freeing the slaves. The war would have been averted.

That was not only a sensible suggestion, but the actual method used to abolish slavery in England two decades earlier.

However, the Democrats in the south would have none of it and rushed succession resolutions through seven states before even giving ample opportunity for debate.

Virginia, North Carolina, Tennessee and Arkansas were actually opposed to succession up until Lincoln set troops across their borders.

I think you misspelled succotash (emphasis on the suck). Good luck on acquiring internet access so you can locate an online dictionary. Most 3rd Graders have already learned that lesson - did you miss school that day?

Semi-literacy suits you.
