The idea behind the statement was that people in the south didn't like slavery much but they thought that it had to be done. For many of them it was true because they had large areas of land that were covered in crops, and the economy was thriving because the people who worked on that land were slaves. If it hadn't been for free work force, the economy would've failed for them and they'd lose everything. They believed that slavery therefore had to exist because someone has to keep the world spinning according to what they believed was right.

If the Constitution had not been ratified the United States would not be the way it is now. Our rights that we have today are protected by the Constitution and if it had not been ratified we could not have been guaranteed the life that we have now (which most people around the globe wish to have.) The Constitution is a major part of U.S history and if it were not ratified the history of this country would have changed completely. Congress would have been working for the governments best interest and not the citizens' best interest. I also think that if the Constitution was never ratified, the U.S would have split into two separate nations- North and South. The North would have continued in the industry world while the South would have chosen the world of agriculture.

Is this part of The Cyclops of Homer’s Odyssey? If so, Odysseus most likely revealed his name so that Poseidon would know that him and his crew had harmed his son (Polyphemus, the cyclops) and weren’t beaten down by Polyphemus. When Odysseus started screaming stuff at Polyphemus like his name and all, his crew told him to stop since Polyphemus had recently broke off a piece of a mountain and threw it at his ship (meaning that he was extremely powerful and could very well destroy them).
