        The founding charter of this country was built for slaver plantation owners and other mercantilists, not the average person. I’d argue that hardly anyone alive today truly values the founding intentions, only their distorted interpretations of such.

        With that in mind and the current state of things in mind, I think a Balkanization of the US, if not North America, is inevitable.

      The US responding to it’s problems: “If we change the definition it’ll go away!”

      They didn’t want to be, they tried to rebel to keep slavery.

      Our mistake in forcing them to stay, or at least not giving every slave owner to their slaves before moving on.
