Statesmanship is being a leader who is able to advocate for peoples’ rights in a way that is humane and gives respect to life. Having strong moral principles and firm virtues is what defines a really statesman. Ability to be focused and remain optimistic throughout the cause of an activity is true statesmanship. The key attributes of true statesmanship during national disunity are as follows:

If you want to use your own talents, be responsible for your own families, work jolly hard and be prepared to help your neighbour, we are the party for you". (Evans pg. 111).

"Jefferson thus signaled his belief that political harmony was possible because Americans shared the same governing principles."(Newell pg. 34). In situations of national...
