Why did benjamin martin not vote for south carolina to start a militia

Benjamin Martin did not vote for South Carolina to start a militia after being summoned for a voting session called to vote for or against a levy/tax in support of the Continental Army which was the main military force of the United States when compared to other militias. Martin presents his opinion against the idea o South Carolina to start a militia pointing out that the colonies are entitled to independence, but war with Great Britain would be disastrous and bloody.

Benjamin Martin, a widower raising his seven children (five sons and two daughters), and also a  French-Indian war hero who is troubled by his past, now wants nothing more than to live peacefully on his small plantation, and wants no part of a war because he wants to protect his family. However, his two eldest sons, Gabriel and Thomas, can't wait to serve in the newly formed "Continental Army." When South Carolina decides to join the rebellion against England, Gabriel immediately signs up to fight even without his father's consent.

However, after a British Colonel Tavington threatens their welfare and kills one of his sons, he chooses to enlist.

biological/genetic factors means they were born or predisposed to have something. nothing can really change it, and you can't really do much to "fix" it. it isn't something learned

these are the biological factors:

adrian is relatively tall and he is on the basketball team

(adrian can't ever stop being tall or force himself to be tall. likely one or both of his parents are tall as well and they passed on the tall gene. he probably does basketball because he is tall)

the rest are environmental/cultural factors. these are things that are taught to us. for example, cynthia wasn't born saving pocket money, her family most likely taught her this (environmental factor)

hope this !

declare war, appoint military officers, sign treaties, make alliances
