Who realized they couldn't get anything done? Not the sovereign states.
The AOC was an amendable document, and who cares as 14th amendment did nothing during the time of it's passing.
They even had to institute martial Law. I made a comment about the emancipation proclamation, and you came back with a stupid nonsensical remark.
It was the Civil Rights movement, and not the 14th amendment that broke the segregation barrier, and you should know this.
There isn't anything that the USC has done that the Articles couldn't have done better as each state was a sovereign entity that didn't have to listen to anything that came from the federal level. They were free to do as they pleased.
What're you confused about?
Yes, it was war for territory. Control of every state under one central authority. Population adjustment. Yes, that's what a civil war is as it's the citizenry fighting one another.
