Wars have unintended consequences - in the case of the Civil War the northern states did not want to end their sovereignty either but by the end of the war both the northern and the southern states were increasingly centralized as a result of that war to the point where state sovereignty is now really just an illusion - sort of like having a constitutional monarchy - just the trappings of it.

The war also transformed the Confederacy's central govt which has a result of the pressures of war reduced the sovereignty of their confederate states and attempted to centralize the war fighting effort of the states.

So in a sense, we as a nation have unfinished business regarding the true reason for the original Civil War...States’ Rights.

It was Lincoln who masked the real war in a moral struggle to end slavery but that was not what started the war. Self determination by the individual states was the true cause. That issue has yet to be resolved. Hence we are moving back to where we started. But this time, there is no moral high ground that trumps the true argument. The Federal Government will be hard pressed to defend the transgressions of our Constitution when push comes to shove.

And onward goes the march towards a one-world government... as the Bible says is coming...

Actually, one of the things that many may not have considered is that the successor to the *evil one-world government* of the Antichrist of the Bible — is — the *one-world government* and absolute ruler over all, Jesus Christ... :-)

In other words, no matter what, it’s going to be a “one-world government”...
