An Incompatibility of Temper [1854 to 1859]

A society in the throes of a life-and-death struggle faces an unbridgeable gulf
between moderate voices and extremist views, putting both sides on a tragic collision course.

 



 

"It is an irrepressible conflict between opposing and enduring forces, and it means that the United States must and will

sooner or later, become either a slaveholding nation or entirely a free-labor nation."

 

William H. Seward, "Irrepressible Conflict" speech, 1858

 




 "We separated because of incompatibility of temper. We are divorced,  

North from South, because we hate each other so much."  

 

 Mary Chesnut, 1861

The North was no longer like the south. It becomes US vs THEM We no longer shared the same values and beliefs.
