Actually, secession wars from Spain, France, and the Netherlands built our nation. I don't know what nation you think you're talking about.
Nobody mentioned greed, because if you were really greedy as opposed to just pathetic you'd be doing something that would pay more than maybe twenty bucks for two weeks of work, which is all any little faggots who'd take you up on your "offer" are likely to pay. Even flipping burgers is more profitable.
