We seceded from England, didn’t we, “ after a long train of abuses”?

We used to be the United States. Now we’re USA. I don’t know if the Constitution says anything, one way or the other. Certainly the South thought it had the right to secede.

No, we didn’t secede from the crown. We openly rebelled against their authority.

What does the term “union” mean to you? What kind of country is it where at any time a section can declare itself a separate country and leave? Doesn’t that sound like chaos to you?
