Those who are doing fairly well have no need to get "upset" or raise their voices. They can get their way through "peaceful" means because they have more resources, and because they win when things stay the same.
The slave owners - until the mid-1850's - were much calmer, much more reasonable and practical, much more soft spoken, much more polite and courteous, much more balanced and centered, much more enlightened and peaceful than the slaves and the Abolitionists were.
