Alotta people--North and South--wanted to work something out, but there were too many fire brands on both sides.
Hmmm... this I can kinda agree with. You had the extreme abolitionists on one side, and the extreme secessionists on the other running the show. Though I think the Civil War may have been inevitable, it might have been stopped if some strong moderate had been able to step forward. Problem was, if you weren't strongly for one side, you were demonized by that side. Hmmm... anyone see the parallels to the idiot extremists from both sides, today?
