What you are referring too is the Gettysburg address. But perhaps maybe you haven't heard it all over.
Lincoln explains in his speech that it is the soldiers who have given their lives, and who have fought with such valor in what they believed in, that have hallowed this ground. Soldiers on both sides, as the states which turned against the union, remained as stars on the union flag.

Since that is impossible, establishing spheres of influence allows major powers to break China from the inside.
The major powers of europe, Japan, and America ganging up on china during those days is the main reason behind China's firm foreign policy today.
