We are building roads, highways, and railroads connected us with each other. The daily interactions that happen due to commerce only bring us closer together. It is slowly but surely bring the states closer into a one nation under one voice. You can clearly see that these two systems, slavery and anti-slavery are coming together and therefore they cannot co-exist and eventually they will collide.
