Stormcloaks are better for skyrim than Imperials

This debate will contain Spoilers.This debate will take any arguments whatsoever that prove any aspect of the stormcloaks or imperials is superior to the other, whether it be economics, standards of living, relations with other provinces, and the future of Tamriel, the actions of your particular Dragonborn, and etc..I support the stormcloaks. The debate will start this round.--------------------------------------------------------------Stormcloaks are better for Skyrim for a number of reasons. High KingUlfric killed the high king in fair combat, Torygg accepted the challenge and was killed. What the empire should have done was offer skyrim to Ulfric, but urge him to remain part of the empire. The empire has caused a lot of bloodshed by being control freaks and wanting skyrim.WhiterunStormcloaks are better for the city of Whiterun because... -The Grey Mane's worship Talos -Kodlak worships Talos (he speaks the words "Talos be with you" in the companioon storyline -There is a large Talos statue with Heimskr preaching at it's base -Ysgramor, the founder of the companions was an elf killer and Farkas has a hatred for elves as he shows in a conversation in the companions storyline. -The Grey Manes and The Companions are closely allied, seeing as how Vignar is a member and Eurland is their blacksmith. -During the quest "Missing in Action" you find out that the thalmor had the intention of imprisoning and possibly torturing the entire Grey Mane family, which the empire was planning on allowing. (which would leave the skyforge without a blacksmith) -Caius, the leader of the gaurds in whiterun is an imperial. A potential spy. Sinmir replaces him if stormcloaks take Whiterun. -Balgruuf's court is fulll of non nords, a recipe for espionage. -Vignar's steward is much more honorable than Balgruuf's, seeing as how he gives up drinking for the good of the city. -The Battle borns are corrupt because Ulfrid sold a member of the Grey Manes to the thalmor. ^My point with all this is that Whiterun would be stronger as a stormcloak city, seeing as how so many agree with the stormcloaks by default. If the imperials took control there would be a lot of persecution in the city, the battle borns would be allowed to continue their corruption.Greybeards and Blades -Greybeards admit that Tiber Septim became a God -The Greybears are all Nords -The greybeards were the mentors of Ulfric, thus giving them a good relation to the stormcloak -Delphine says the words "Talos be with you" when sending you off on a mission -The Blades are also enemies of the Thalmor, just as Ulfric is. -During the quest Season unending, it is made clear that Ulfric and Delphine have spoken to each other before that particular event. Stormcloak soldiers and imperial soldiers Among the ranks of imperials, when counted, most are actual native imperials, and only a couple are Nords, and the rest are bretons. This means that hardly any Nords are in the imperial army, whereas stormcloaks are all nords, with the odd regaurd here and there. This means that the majority of skyrim is already stormcloaks. The imperial soldiers in Skyrim have been sent there from High rock and Cyrodil to hunt down the stormcloaks. This shows that though 80% of skyrim's nords show support for Ulfric, the empire has sent soldiers from Mmorrowind, Cyrodil, and High rock to make sure that it stays in the empire. MagicStormcloaks are cautious when dealing with magic, and that is a good thing, bcause in numerous caves we find that necromancers kidnap innocent people and set them on fire, or enslave their souls, or performing surgical operations on the bodies of victims. These things ar e not welcome in the homeland of the nords. Siding with the stormcloaks ensures such people who perform these acts are hunted down and brought to justice. Still, the college of winterhold is a safe place to practice magic even after Ulfric gains the throne, and if the Dragonborn becomes archmage that's even better. Don't forget, Ulfric himself has a court mage so magic is NOT under threat with Ulfric.FalkreathFalkreath's default imperial jarl is a corrupt lazy man. It would be a service to the town to remove him. There are also many nationalist nords in the town, which make the town ready to join the stormcloaks.RiftenIf the imperials Take Riften Mavan Black briar and the entire Black-briar family gain maximum power available to them in the Rift. Keeping Jarl Laila and her housecarl around is the only thing standing between Mavan black briar and total control.Riften also has a nord nationalist family which tends the Talos shrine. They would be good for the stormcloaks.If Riften is aquired by the empire, the thieves guild becomes more powerful due to Mavan controlling the law.Misc -From here, the Dragonborn is free to create a NEW empire, since the Cyrodilic empire is dead. -Ulfric stops the Altmer from performing espionage in Skyrim -Brings A greater appreciation for Nord culture, rather than Nords becoming tools of elves and imperials. -Elves work harder to earn their places -Skooma will be harder to come by with the paranoi of dark elves and khajit -an alliance can be made with Hammerfell -Ulfric spent years training his voice. This taught him discipline and strength. He is a strong leader. -The Thalmor Dossier does NOT say that he was alied with the thalmor, only that the thalmor approved of him hurting the imperials in skyrim. The dossier also says that if ulfric gains control of skyrim that would be BAD for them Stormcloaks have a greater hatred for the forsworn. This could lead to a more swift ending to the war between the forsworn. Even once stormcloaks have taken over, there are cities where non nords can live in peace, such as solitude, falkreath, winterhold, and riften. Only Windhelm, Markarth, morthal, and dawnstar are strict nord towns. For these reasons, I think a stormcloak Skyrim is both stronger, and less corrupt.
