the following:

The higher animals engage in individual fights, but never in organized
masses. Man is the only animal that deals in that atrocity of atrocities, War.
He is the only one that gathers his brethren about him and goes forth in cold
blood and with calm pulse to exterminate his kind. He is the only animal that
for sordid wages will march out, as the Hessians did in our Revolution, and as
the boyish Prince Napoleon did in the Zulu war, and help to slaughter strangers
of his own species who have done him no harm and with whom he has no quarrel.

Man is the only animal that robs his helpless fellow of his country, takes
possession of it and drives him out of it or destroys him. Man has done this in
all the ages. There is not an acre of ground on the globe that is in possession
of its rightful owner, or that has not been taken away from owner after owner,
cycle after cycle, by force and bloodshed.

If you're first with the correct answer, I'll send you a Riverwalk Vicksburg $1 chip.
