A Nationalist in the time of Separatism wrote beautiful words describing his nation “I am of old and young, of the foolish as much as the wise; Regardless of others, ever regardful of others, Maternal as well as paternal, a child as well as a man.”(16.322-324) A man looking to unite a nation yelling to those who didn’t want to hear, but still ignored. He expresses with deep love how America is an enormous poem, a country with such diversity in every field (states, people, culture, religion), should be united and not part.
