Thomas Jefferson borrowed many things from John Locke while writing the Declaration of Independence. One of the more famous of these things was the infamous phrase, "life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness," which John Locke had stated in a political philosophy work of writing, but is now known for being in the Declaration of Independence. Locke also created the idea of overthrowing the government if it did not meet the peoples needs, which Jefferson liked and later used for the Declaration.

Why did the United States fail to reach a compromise on slavery? Was there a solution other than war?
Assoli18 [71]
The US had many attempts at compromise with varying levels of sucess before the Civil War. However, when Lincoln was elected president (on the platform of stopping the expansion of slavery), the South lost hope and seceded. 
There is always a solution other than war, however, in this case, war had been a looming possibility for quite some time, and compromise probably would've only pushed the war back a year or two.
Hope this helps :)
