1861. Died after “four score and seven years.” What it was replaced with was not what the founders intended. The federal government had acquired far too much power.

Right - the Confederate states should have been allowed to freely secede.

Or better yet, in 1776, since the Constitution says all men are created equal, the slave states should have been given the choice then - give up slavery and join, or keep slavery and stay separate.
