The "Great Compromise" was indeed a return to the pre-civil war status quo. However it was an alliance of "liberal" Republicans and Democrats who forced through this deal over the objections of the "radical" Republicans.

There. Man, ya had me. Thing is, I've actually read anti-Republican memes that did try to sell the notion that the GOP has always been pro-slavery, so I just assumed... I know what leftists are capable of.
