EQ: WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE A NATION?
It seems that it was just a few days ago that everyone was doing manual labor. The cotton was picked by hand and cloth was sewn by hand too. Now, we have all this new technology and machines. Eli Whitney made the cotton gin. That really helps because now the machine can sort out the seeds, that used to be a long process. Since Jefferson's Embargo Act on Europe, we Americans have been forced to create our own domestic industries. But, of course, we couldn't do it alone. Samuel Slater started our amazing revolution when he came to Rhode Island in 1793. He had memorized the factory plan in Europe and brought it here for us Americans to use for our first successful mechanized textile factory. God bless that man! We couldn't have made it here withought him. Now it's up to us to light the way for the rest of the world, especially the West.
To be a nation, means that each individual thinks in a way that is best for the nation. Every action that is made must be best for the nation. This means that each individual must put the "nation" above his/her own beliefs or opinions. To be a nation means that each individual that is part of the nation sticks together through the good and the bad, meaning that no seperate group within the nation can succeed. Once part of a nation, it is the duty of its components to keep the nation together. Being a nation means having a just government, fair policies, and no matter what, sticking together.
