Remark
Thank you for the question. It is one of the most amazing results I've come across.
Answer
In 2016, nearly 114 million people visited Florida. That qualifies it as a major industry because the accommodations alone on average would be between 50$ and 100$ a day. The revenue is over 1 billion dollars and that would be the most conservative estimate possible. Then there's food and entertainment and conventions and all sorts of things connected to the presence of this kind of industry.
To put this in another perspective 114 million people is almost exactly half the population of the United States. So look around in your neighborhood. I know this won't be true, but about 1/2 the houses would have gone there at one time or another.
Wow!!

I think you need to go back and look at what happened at Stalingrad, Leningrad and Kursk.
Leningrad: This was the longest siege ever in the entire history of war. The siege lasted for some 900 days and in the end Russia prevailed at great cost. It was not that the Russians actually defeated Germany. It was the land and the weather that did that. It was not that the Russians were able to swoop down and savagely club the Germans to death. It was that thousands of Russians died of hunger and disease, but they would not surrender the city. The German Northern Army had to withdraw.
Stalingrad: Probably the greatest land battle of the Second World War. The German army was reduced to fighting one city block at a time and again the Russian character prevailed. They might concede a block, but the Germans paid dearly for each thing they took. They were not equipped to deal with the terrible Russian Winter. Hitler thought it unnecessary to supply his troops because he had always been successful using Blitzkrieg tactics. This time it didn't work. If I remember correctly 1000000 men surrendered. That was a monumental defeat.
Kursk was the largest mechanized battle ever fought. The two previous battles gave Russia an opportunity to get its factors going to produce planes and tanks. Kursk was a tank battle. Germany lost in that battle.
So Hitler was actually defeated before the Battle of the Bulge. But the battle showed that now the war had turned the corner. Now the allies were able to fighter Germany in her own back yard so to speak. She was caught in a giant pair pliers with the Allies coming from the north (in France) and the south (North Africa, Sicily and Italy). And winning. Hitler became delusional and started thinking he could use rockets (V2s) to win the war.
That didn't work effectively. If Hitler didn't know he was defeated, those around him did.
Answer:
While the Fugative Slave Act made Northaners more defensice of slavery and the South more defensive of slavery, this also lead to the Canning of Charles Brookes whom made attacks towards a Southern Senator and waa beaten with his cane while the North was angered and the South was happy.
The killing of the radical abolitionist, John Brown by confederate leader, Robert Lee also sparked hatred.
The Declaration of Independence of the U.S. lists life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness as natural rights.
