I’m a little confused about what states in US are. Are they more like their own countries united in alliance, or are they districts of one country?

    Yes, and a counter to the argument that the Union was inviolable versus states joining voluntarily. It might be convenient to only look at one aspect of a matter, but that only holds so long as the view agrees with the outcome you would like to happen.

    The arguments around states, federalism, The Union (it wasn’t called the union for no reason): they matter. And it might be that you might find a limited interpretation around what actually happened during that time inconvenient in the future.

      Why were the slave-owning states the only ones “rising concerns” around “federalism”? A curious coincidence indeed

        Because they wanted to leave the union so they could carry on being slaving assholes.

        Your point is obvious and dumb

          I think you might be defending a guy purposefully obfuscating the issue. Yes, my point is obvious and mocking, that’s generally how sarcasm works.
