My opinion regarding the future role of a stronger federal union and its future effects on our world was meant to provide a different perspective as to what our country has really meant to the world historically. I have no knowlege or secret insights as to the final working out of our Creator's plans.
I don't know why some wars were fought and why these or those died. But one can fairly surmise what might have happened had America not remained united, with all other factors and trends remaining the same in the world.

We would have been a nuclear pile of ash long before now or enslaved under the most diabolical ISM's known to man!

Again, you rely on clairvoyance to justify mass slaughter. Nuclear weapons were the result of a government program that sprung from a Red-Brown administration of FDR. The secrets to the bomb were then delivered to Stalin.

If the states had separated, there would have been no Spanish American War, which left the United States with obligations in the Pacific. There would have been no American entry into the First World War, thus the French and British would have sued for peace and the Hapsburg Empire and Kaiser Whilhelm would still have been in power.

With peace, the Germans would not have sent Lenin from Berlin to cause trouble and there would have been no Soviet revolution, and no Stalin. The 20th Century was the most brutal century in the history of man and your thought process, used to justify the state that unleashed the slaughter comes up with the simple explanation that 'things would have been much worse.'

I am not sure how anyone can look at the 100s of millions dead and make such a claim other than to rely on clairvoyance.
