This is a fun game! Let me play!
If George Washington never existed, would there have been a United States?
If Virginia and the other Southern states had not joined the War for Independence, would there have been a United States?
If Southern states hadn't been paying 72% of the total taxation in the nation, would they have left?
Would *YOU* like to pay 72% of the taxes while 5 of your Neighbors together (relative population difference between North and South) Paid 28%?
Your argument is asinine and ignores the fact the North wanted that slave money too, and that slave money is *WHY* they wouldn't let the South go.
No Washington no USA. Yes.
If VA/South did not join the war no USA. Yes.
You are asinine.
