    Did you see the date on the image? This is not about the war, but showing the absurd position of centrists on extremist positions

      More the centrist worship of compromise,

      The Great Compromiser is an example that comes to mind, a guy who’s crowning achievement is negotiating still preserving and even expanding slavery to avoid a war that ended up happening anyways just a few decades later.

      All he actually achieved was preventing the Union from having an even larger lead against the secessionists given that the cotton gin industrial complex hadn’t come fully online to give the south the capital it later put towards betraying their fellow citizens in the name of continuing to own people.
