About this Quote

This quote by Robert Toombs is describing the relationship between the Northern and Southern states of the United States throughout the mid-19th century. Toombs is asserting that the Northern states had no factor to grumble about the relationship between the two regions, as they had actually not looked for to get any advantage over the South. This declaration suggests that the North had not sought to acquire any economic or political power over the South, and that the two areas had actually been on equal footing. Toombs' statement also implies that the North had actually not sought to gain any unfair advantage over the South, and that the two regions had actually been dealt with fairly. This quote is a testament to the tranquil relationship in between the two areas throughout this time period, and functions as a reminder of the value of maintaining a balance of power between the 2 areas.
