4 0

John Winthrop, addressing the Puritans aboard the Arbella in 1630, said: "... we must consider that we will be like a city on a hill, the eyes of all peoples will be watching us." The search for that utopia, the desire that the society they would found on the coasts of Massachusetts would be like a city on a hill from which they would illuminate the rest of the peoples of the world, was an ideal that was always present in the spirit of the founding fathers of the United States of America and explains the greatness of this nation.

Lincoln reasoned out that there were insurgent agents who were intent on destroying the Union without war but there were parties who would rather wage war and have an easy triumph.

Here is his reason:

"While the inaugural address was being delivered from this place, devoted altogether to saving the Union without war, insurgent agents were in the city seeking to destroy it without war—seeking to dissolve the Union and divide effects by negotiation. Both parties deprecated war, but one of them would make war rather than let the nation survive, and the other would accept war rather than let it perish, and the war came." - President Abraham Lincoln, Second Inaugural Address March 4, 1865.
