New England has always been home to the best of America. We were the heart of the rebellion against England, we fought slavery, segregation, racism, genderism, and every other threat America faced. When other parts of America chose to cast aside their promise, New England remained the shining light on the hill, the beacon of strength and unity to all. And we assembled those who wished to be strong and stable under our banner. We brought together a coalition of the willing, States who valued security over chaos during the depths of the Second Great Depression, and saved the best of America to face a new era. The New England Federation is our legacy and our future. We are the best of America, and we will forever stand as an example of what Americans can strive for as we march towards a better future.
