Louisiana once held the record, I believe. What's with these Southern state constitutions? Oh, that's right. Slavery, the Civil War, and Jim Crow.

There seems to be no desire at the moment to hold a constitutional convention.

I see you like Columbo. But yes the South for all its pretty landscapes doesn’t have the best track record along with the rest of the country of race relations.

i mean, let's take a look at the list on wikipedia since 1871 (since that's the first time a modern pan-german state has ever existed).

in total, wars between two independently recognized states (or rebels emerging from independently recognized states, excluding internal civil wars and colonial wars) involving germany are:

- the franco-german war
- the first samoan civil war
- the second samoan civil war
- world war 1
- world war 2
- the yugoslav wars
- the war in afghanistan
- the war in mali

gee that's a lot

meanwhile america's got, going by wars (of the same origin) involving the US are:
- the revolution
- the quasi-war
- the mexican-american war
- the second samoan civil war
- the spanish-american war
- world war 1
- world war 2
- the korean war
- the laotian civil war
- the cambodian civil war
- the vietnam war
- the yugoslav wars
- the iraq war
- the iraqi civil war (2011-2017)
- the war in afghanistan
- the syrian civil war
- the war in mali
- the somalian civil war
- the invasion of libya
- the second libyan civil war

jeez that's a few more i think
