Not entirely a bad thing in my mind.“the Confederation United States would have soon dissolved withnothingcivil war to replace it. “
It was only too possible for neighboring states, each with vague/grandiose definitions of their own extents, to default into military conflict. Of course, that happened anyway, in 1861 - but had it happened in 1800 the British would have picked up the pieces.
I’ve given up responding to the Hamilton Haters. Let ‘em wallow in ignorance.
States joined the Confederation to deal with war. With peace, there was no reason to continue with the charade. The AC wasn’t government, and by 1787 enough adults recognized the need for government to secure the foundational maxims of the revolution.
