Hardly relevant at all. The States held Far More power before the Civil war, and were not nearly as subjugated by the Fed as they are to day. Not nearly as Dependent. In fact it was the other way around back then. The Fed was Dependent on the states to even raise an army.
Today we have a Fed that has all but took away a States ability to Defend itself at all.
It's very relevant as a response to the comment it's directed at. Of course the states held more power ... there was NO legal reason they could not secede until 1868 -- after the fact where the US Government covered its ass.
Yep, and though great things came of the Civil war. Slavery Ended. We Became a powerful Nation not a weak Group of States. We also Lost something important, and set off down a course of weaker and weaker states and a stronger and stronger FED. Until we reached today where I wonder if we are even a Federal Republic at all anymore.
