“Unhappy it is, though, to reflect that a brother’s sword has been sheathed in a brother’s breast and that the once-happy plains of America are either to be drenched with blood or inhabited by slaves. Sad alternative! But can a virtuous man hesitate in his choice?” - George Washington, 1777
Unfortunately that is all to true - most people aren't interested in actual discussion; they would rather you validate their opinion, feelings, etc.
