Loyalty to ones state would seem like traitorous behavior to the Federalist/state-ist.

Wow. So George Washington was a Federalist/Statist? Who knew?

At that time the Constitution was actually followed, so no, I won't put Washington in the state-ist camp.

Actually, Washington was a Federalist - the best way to describe him. But he was not a “unionist” at all costs.
