"The inhabitants of the southern colonies are more strongly attached to freedom than those of the northern. Such were all the ancient states, such were our Gothic ancestors, such were the Poles of our era, and such will be all slave masters who are not slaves themselves. In these peoples the pride of the empire is combined with the spirit of liberty, strengthens it or renders it invincible. (Edmund Burke)"
