the US has undoubtedly amassed the largest empire known to man.
Not counting Russia, of course . . .

the US has acquired its 50 states through clever land deals and plunder.


Plunder?

The United States has been consistently gobbling up new territory for the last 241 years.

We picked up Hawaii and various Spanish colonies in 1898. Anything since then? Maybe you can count the canal zone, but that's gone now.

241 years? What did we pick up recently? I must have missed that.

The British Empire was truly vast. Made our empire look like Rhode Island.

If by some crazy chance, our U.S. Constitution gets usurped and replaced with some Marxist system of government, then yes, because oppressed and repressed nations are very costly to centrally control.
If we continue to stay a Constitutional Republic and all this Marxist crap gets squashed by those who embrace and protect our freedoms, rights and Liberties, then I would call you a Nutjob! Marxism is Godless, Immoral and Self-destructive. Yet, the Obama admin., the Dem Party, 97% of the Media, Universities and certain Republican leaders continue to embrace it and peddle it, daily. I know which side Im on, Constitutional Conservatism, which do you choose? Semper Fi

Hopefully western California and the liberal northeast will secede and form their own socialist utopias.

“The United States has been consistently gobbling up new territory for the last 241 years. “

Blew all credibility in the first sentence by having no idea what the word “consistently” means.

The basic premiss is correct - that countries and their borders are rarely stable in history.

America’s present focus on stupid “diversity” and bashing our long-established culture, and the majority white race, along with our massive debt, are to two fractures that could lead to great trouble and division in the future.

The author of this article says, With such a growing cultural divide in the US, I wouldn’t be surprised if at least one of these states breaks away from the rest of the US. Remember, this scenario would not be an unusual occurrence in the grand scheme of things."

The reason for the cultural divide is the Federal Government taking on a role it was never intended to be. One must always remember we are a Republic of individual states! The intrusive Federal Government has usurped the power of the individual states and thus nationalized individual differences of states to chart their own destiny.

Damn the Federal Judiciary to hell.

Each state should be allowed to succeed or fail on its own as dictated by their citizens.

What we now have today is a central government most tyrannical in nature and form. That is why we went to war with England to gain our Independence.

The road to national harmony is a reduced Federal influence and let each and individual state to do what they wish so long as it is within Constitutional Law.

We ripped the heart out of our nation during the civil war. This was not necessary. Slavery would have died and was dying.

ps
An odd history of freed slaves during the civil war. In the South were freed slaves and in particular Louisiana. Some were great land owners of wealth. They had slaves working their lands. They fought for the South. It was simply an economic decision. The politically correct do not like to talk about this. Slavery was an most evil thing. Lincoln ended it and that was good. It would have ended anyway and the civil war was an abomination that should have never happened.

There’s been talk about California seceding. There has been talk about Texas seceding. Some want to make Puerto Rico a state.

Canada has had to deal with Quebec’c effort to be independent, and if that happens, there is some talk that the Western provinces might want to secede and join the USA.

There has been some talk of the Southwest becoming a country of its own. There has been some talk of New England seceding and joining with the Maritime Provinces to make a new country called Acadia.

So far, all of these are just talk. I’ll believe any of these scenarios when I see it. But they’re interesting to talk about.

Ever since Neil Armstrong set foot on the Moon and claimed it as American, the USA has been the largest empire ever.

When we defeat an enemy, we do not take their land (as we rightly could), we import their peasants.

Unbeknownst to many people around the world, maps are constantly being redrawn.

What a comical attempt at sounding highfalutin. How old is the child who wrote this, 12? He thinks he deserves a gold star.
