“This is free ground. All the way from here to the Pacific Ocean. No man has to bow. No man born to royalty. Here we judge you by what you do, not by what your father was. Here you can be something. Here’s a place to build a home. . . It’s the idea that we all have value, you and me . . .”
—Colonel Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain, 20th Maine, as represented in the novel The Killer Angels by Michael Shaara, 1974
Every new person has a clean state they are not judge by their family's past or you do not have to listen to any body except yuorself
