there is a lot to be said for orwell's priorities. burke would have approved of them thoroughly. his understanding does not quite fit the american instance, where a kind of rough federative principle has evolved, one that encouraged smaller loyalties to feed into and support larger ones rather than making the struggle between the nation and the particular groups that constitute the nation into a zero-sum game. in america, patriotism and nationalism are not inevitably immortal conflict, although they are sometimes in tension. that has been one of the great american achievements, both politically and socially, and culturally too, to provide a setting that can comprehend and support naturally multiple loyalties of the human person. not requiring its inhabitants to choose between unless it is absolutely necessary to do so. and america does not require to yield his loyalty to his locality or his family or his estate or his religion or is ethnic group or his race, in order to be an american. and he is no less of an american by declining to do so. those are my thoughts about how to thin

of whether southern states should be able to export their labor system -- slavery into the west, orwell or it could be closed off to slavery. so, people who did not want to live among african-americans, were fighting for banning slavery, even people who were not slave owners themselves to read it was wrapped up in several different political issues and cultural issues. so, in the state of missouri, the state mobilized to spread slavery into kansas. in 1854 in june, there were mass meetings across kansas and the state. jesse james's mother died and his father remarried. an area closer to the western frontier. so, this was happening in their home county. plattesand men joined the county self-defense organization, basically a militia organization to go and defend the area from kansas. fighting out in kansas. people were raising money and organizing. so, we have the proslavery aid organization formed. in 1855, a group of border uffians capture the arsenal. that gives you an idea of how people were militant that they were actually seizing a federal arsenal inside missouri. what happens is th
