### Example 2
> "It would become an industrial rather than agrarian nation, with a national government pre-eminent over those of individual states. It would become a nation. And its not a coincidence that over the course of the 19th century, people stopped pluralizing the United States; they stopped saying, “The United States are a great place to live,” and began saying, “The United States is a great place to live.” The Civil War helped singularize what had been until then a plural nation."
