You refused to compromise, and now you have 1000 slaves. But at least you can tell yourself you did the right thing, as the slaves, slave on.

Because refusal to compromise = never succeeding?

You’d be in favour having some slave states and some non-slave states instead of fighting a civil war to end slavery.

No, I'd compromise to buy time, until I can stab the confederates in the back, duh.

But wouldn't you be in favor of not having any non-slave states until you could assure that there were no slave states? Thus eliminating the political and demographic power which allowed the abolitionists to be a faction strong enough to contest a civil war?
