It’s been a stereotype for at least the last 50 years. Why has this never changed? Why has organized labor not had a substantial effect for such an essential part of the workforce?

    Let’s review:

    1. You don’t believe in fighting, you’d rather comprise
    2. The relationship of Douglass and Lincoln exemplifies this type of compromise

    AND yet…it all led to the Civil War. Which was necessary to stop the selling human beings for profit.

    So, yes, if you look at the relationship between the two political entities involved, a compromise was reached. But that compromise was worthless in preventing violence.

    Violence was always inevitable. It started with violence toward Africans - kidnapping and slavery. The only way to end it was more violence - a bloody, vicious civil war. This is the human condition.
