Poem by Walt Whitman

Leaves of Grass. 1. Inscriptions. 12. To the States

To the States or any one of them, or any city of the States, Resist
         much, obey little,
Once unquestioning obedience, once fully enslaved,
Once fully enslaved, no nation, state, city of this earth, ever
         afterward resumes its liberty.
