Compromising the Civil War

General Kelly, the dope who guards the White House for Minority President Trump, has said that the Civil War was brought on by an inability to compromise. It’s too late now, but an obvious compromise might have saved the lives of many loyal American troops.


White people and black people could have taken turns being slaves. That seems fair. Of course, there were more white people, extra white people, which would have created an imbalance, but if you reclassified the Indian tribes and the Irish as African-Americans, as some did, you’d get roughly equal numbers. (Note to self: everyone is, in ancestral terms, African-American.)

Or maybe men and women could have taken turns being slaves or vice versa.
