Reply #11: Compomise has long been the excuse used by "moderates" to justify inaction.

I'm not going to do your research for you.

You need to learn a little bit about the history of this nation.

If you study the history, you find out that it's not all about compromise.

But study the real people's history, not just the fantasy propaganda you might get in school by "mainstream" teachers.


Nothing was compromised away by the civil rights movement when the Voting Rights Act was brought up for a vote.

Nothing was compromised by the Women's suffrage movement when they had legislation passed to amend the Constitution so that women would finally have universal suffrage.

I'm not going to engage in a semantics debate with you.

The bottom line is that nothing was compromised away by the civil rights or women's rights movements to obtain the right to vote.

If you think otherwise, prove it.

What compromise with former slaveholders on the right of black people to vote in the south was made during the Radical Reconstruction period?
