“Public spirit and patriotism are nurtured by family ties, and by the associations of country and state. We have little regard for a man who loves his country in general in the abstract, and does not take an interest in the improvement and embellishment of his own place. A man who does not love his hamlet will not die for his country, still less live and toil for his nation. Where public spirit has departed, the commonwealth is corrupt.” Lieber from Civil Government of the United States and Michigan 1922
