You know it to be true. Yet it was not a thing to be very seriously ashamed of. The resulting Patriotism was a shop-worn product procured at second hand.

Then by and by, training swung Massachusetts the other way, and she went raging South to fight under that very flag and against that foretime protected-interest of hers. Long training made us revolt at the idea of wantonly taking any weak nation's country and liberties away from it, a short training has made us glad to do it, and proud of having done it. There is nothing that training cannot do. Nothing is above its reach or below it. Then men can be trained to manufacture their own Patriotism.
