The peculiar part is that these guys seem unable to recognize that there was no option of maintaining the US as it was prior to 1861.
The options were:
1. Let the Union dissolve. It is likely that the ongoing tensions and likely wars this would have led to would have themselves resulted in a growth of government, in both countries.
2. Fight and win a war for the Union. Unfortunately, doing so effectively necessitated major modifications to the old highly-limited system of government.
I'll take option 2, as the lesser of two weevils.

Maybe it is the teacher in me rearing its head, but it bugs me when a published article has so many mistakes in it.
