Because refusal to compromise = never succeeding?

You’d be in favour having some slave states and some non-slave states instead of fighting a civil war to end slavery.

But wouldn't you be in favor of not having any non-slave states until you could assure that there were no slave states? Thus eliminating the political and demographic power which allowed the abolitionists to be a faction strong enough to contest a civil war?
