Morris meant that his talking would go unotice since the states wouldn't comply with its demand since they didn't have to comply to his request for funds for the government.

Well, honey, Morris was basically saying that trying to convince someone who is completely closed off to your ideas is like talking to a brick wall - pointless and a waste of time. It's like trying to teach a fish how to ride a bicycle - ain't gonna happen, darling. So, in simpler terms, preaching to the dead means trying to persuade someone who is never gonna change their mind.

In the context of Morris's statement "preaching to the dead," he likely meant attempting to persuade or convince individuals who are unresponsive or unwilling to change their beliefs or behaviors. This metaphor suggests the futility of trying to communicate with those who are closed off or resistant to new ideas. It implies a sense of wasted effort or energy in trying to reach an audience that is not receptive.

What is the reference for Jesus going to hell to preach the gospel?

There are two references that have been understood to mean this, both from 1 Peter. In chapter 3:18 the author refers to Jesus preaching to the spirits who were in prison (NIV) and in chapter 4:6 he refers to Jesus preaching to "those who are know dead". Some commentators have taken this to mean that Jesus preached the Gospel to spirits in Hell between the time he was crucified and raised, but not all agree on this.
