A) As I posted earlier I another thread the US actually didn't have a Constitution and a real federal government until 1789. That's 13 years after the signing of the declaration of Independance and 6 years after the Revolutionary War ended. Until then each state had it's own laws and banks and money etc.
B) yes we are held together today, but rememebr we did have a civil war.
C) Texas at one time was actually an independant nation. They could have stayed that way but saw the sense in being part of a larger union. California if it was it's own country would have the world's 10th largest economy. So why don't they break away? Because they also see it makes more sense in being part of a larger union.
