People, cultures, ideas, and norms change over time. Entrenched business interests would be opposed to the dissolution of the union. But an opportunist with the right charisma and comes along and divides people sufficiently then those interests might not be powerful enough to maintain the union.
- anshumankmr 5y agoBut the common sense fact should be that if there is dissolution of the Union, peace will never last and the two countries will be in a perpetual war or a cold war. Plus assuming the split is the same as before, minorities will suffer terribly. Back then, it was the slaves who got the worst of it but now America has become a melting pot of all cultures. What will happen to those people? And the allies of America will be left to fend for themselves such as Taiwan, Ukraine, Japan , India etc? Honestly, I presume that common sense will prevail and nothing will change hopefully, such as Roe v Wade not being overturned.
