It would not have anything to do with the fact the 'Confederate' traitors were resoundingly defeated, thereby preventing a separate, expanded slave empire? Who needs little factoids such as that - right?
Resoundingly? As in it took the Union over 4 years to defeat a foe with less than 1/4 it's population, a fraction of the industry and weaponry, and only then by resorting to waging war on innocent women and children?
If a founder stood an announced to all present in convention, that 'if we are unsatisfied with the proposed [national] government, we can renounce it, this is an additional safeguard to our state', would you consider them to be a crackpot? What if they stated that 'a power remains with the state until it is delegated'? Is that gentleman a lunatic? Are they insane?
