This is taken from the historic Benjamin Franklin "Join or Die" [link] After seeing all of the trouble in Washington and this debt ceiling crisis I wanted to illustrate the magnitude of how this situation will effect our future.

franklin's philosophy was correct- in terms of uniting the states= the "united states" of america (u.s.a.). >the civil war was not fought over "slavery." the war was fought over "nationalism vs. federalism." >had the south won the war- france & the british would have surely waged war against the "confederate states of america." >france would've had the perfect opportunity to reinstate the "louisiana purchase" & take-back the (c.s.a.) south.
uniting was the only option. southerners that take pride in the "confederate flag" have no clue that the south once belonged to the french. this symbol means more than sovereignty or our modern political system (nice touch btw). it was a map/plan for the security of this countries future.
all the while- women, africans & natives were being oppressed- it's a cruel joke for white-males.

As one who has recently looked into such history, I find this very fitting.
