Part A
- From line 2, patriotism here is the pride in the whole nation, emphasizing national unity. Local discriminations (lines 2 - 3) are concerns based on local differences. Patriotism is a national - level pride, while local discriminations are about local - based feelings, and patriotism should be exalted more than these local - derived concerns.
- The phrase (lines 1 - 3) means that the pride of national patriotism should be given more importance than any feelings or concerns that come from local - level differences. For part a, in the late 1800s, there might have been growing regional tensions (like between North - South, East - West in terms of economic, social differences), and Washington wanted to emphasize national unity over these local - based issues to keep the nation together.
- In lines 6 - 13, Washington's main idea is that different regions (North - South, East - West) are interdependent. The North benefits from the South's resources, the South benefits from the North's manufacturing, the East improves communications and the West expands because of the East's improvements. This shows that each region has an interest in the union and together they are stronger.

Patriotism (line 2) is the pride of the whole nation. It is different from local discriminations (lines 2 & 3) as patriotism is a sense of pride and unity for the entire nation, while local discriminations are concerns or feelings that come from local - level differences. Patriotism should be valued more than these local - based concerns.
