The War of Independence was waged to establish the Articles of Confederation, which would have worked had the British Parliament honored the Treaty of Paris. The Constitutional Coup was made in 1789, six years after the War’s conclusion, because the States needed a unified military command to fend off continuing incursion lest they fall back under the Unwarrantable Jurisdiction. As late as 1814, the Reds burned down the City of Washington, and as late as 1863, when American ports were secured by America’s greatest ally, Russia, the Reds were busily sinking American ships and blockading American shipping on behalf of the South. People tend to forget that the United States were at loggerheads with “Great” Britain from the time of the Founding until the very moment that the U.S. government was finally captured and America thereby reintegrated into the Empire by the subtlest of subtle political skullduggeries, the so-called World Wars.

There is, for example, the large Champlain-Hudson corridor.

New England, especially MA, NH, and ME, has a substantial French Canadian population. This is a residue of Canadians coming south to work in the New England textile mills.

Canadian politics is left of US, and the addition of any province to the US would give the Democrats a permanent majority in both Houses of Congress.

Mexico shouldn’t be thought of as a unified state, but instead as a collage of dozens of little Mexicos where local power brokers constantly align with and against each other (and a national government seeking — often in vain — to stitch together something more cohesive).

So Mexico is what the United State should have been. Got it.
