Just a reminder that the north and the south have always been in contention since the very founding of this country. We have a bicameral congress as part of the great compromise between high population northern states and low representation (enslaved didn't count) southern states. So you have 1 legislative body that closely matches the will of the voters and you have the other legislative body who matches the will of landowners. 1 voter in Wyoming has almost the same influence as 200 voters in California. And for a representative government, in the long run, this is unsustainable. Due to this and the impending climate change crisis I believe the US won't exist as we know it in the 22nd century.
