No, but I don't claim they died from a bullet wound in 1929 one day, and then the following day, make the claim that they died from an entirely different bullet wound that happened in 1934.
Your argument might have merit if the 17th amendment was passed in 1865.
MY argument would be that the increased Federal power after the Civil War made the further abuses of power much easier. Sort of how HIV doesn’t actually kill the host, but renders the host vulnerable to a future infection.
