The future inhabitants of [both] the Atlantic and Mississippi states will be our sons. We think we see their happiness in their union, and we wish it. Events may prove otherwise; and if they see their interest in separating why should we take sides? God bless them both, and keep them in union if it be for their good, but separate them if it be better. ✨ Thomas Jefferson (1829). Memoir, correspondence, and miscellanies from the papers of T. Jefferson, p.512
