President , are we a politically compromising nation . We were created in compromise. A lot of people think of the revolutionary war, which separated us from our mother country, but if you recall, i know you werent there then, but if you recall it historically speaking our Founding Fathers crafted a compromise that created the constitution. They were as polarized as any set of americans who had been throughout our country and history. There were a pro and anti slavery and yet they compromised. So, yes, we were founded in compromise.
