"For it was not these states that formed the Union, on the contrary it was the Union which formed a great part of such so-called states." With the exception of the original 13, this is an absolutely true statement. All other states had no existence prior to or outside the Union, with the exception of Texas. Most of the states that attempted to secede were in this group.
