When one adds the word that to a compound sentence does it change the structure of the sentence. For example, in the sentence, he was a good ruler and that defying him would bring chaos to the country, is this still a compound sentence? I know a compound sentence is made of two simple sentences attached by a coordinating conjunction preceded by a comma. The use of that boggles my thinking on the structure. What do you think? Please clarify.
