But please, do go on about how local level is so much more pure/better than the federal gov't.
A decision driven in part by the disproportionate allocation of power (votes) based upon the number of slaves owned (something slaveholders didn't like the idea of giving up- which would be completely eradicated if slavery were eradicated, the three-fifths compromise being an earlier version of the same argument). Power, control, and wealth. Then of course, the north could not allow the south to leave the union, and lets not imagine that their reasons were pure as the driven snow.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
