Ta-Nehisi Coates Schools John Kelly On History Of Civil War And Compromise

[Hamlette]

"Notion that Civil War resulted from a lack of compromise is belied by all the compromises made on enslavement from America's founding. I mean, like, it's called The three fifths compromise for a reason. But it doesn't stand alone. Missouri Compromise. Kansas-Nebraska Act.

Praising Bobby Lee as an honorable man is just sad. Like some kid insisting his deadbeat dad is actually a secret agent away on a mission."

This is an excellent, short read with great quips from history about Lee's cruelty and the North's efforts to compromise.
