Yes there absolutely was. It would have been ugly and unpleasant because the slave states were really into it. But doing the right thing is often ugly and unpleasant. Good guys take the hard path. The Founders chickened out. They went the expedient path.

I think people like you resent that the U.S. ever existed in the first place and wish the U.S. was never formed.

That's what you're advocating here. Day 1 suicide.

Without compromises to keep the 13 colonies together, we would become slaves to the British Empire again as we were before. Most likely Washington, Mason, Patrick Henry, and hundreds of others, the entire Continental Congress, every Declaration signer, would be put to death under acts of treason. Made into examples of what happens for disobedience to the crown.

"But doing the right thing is often ugly and unpleasant"

Suicide is not "the right thing". It's ridiculous in your scenario though.
