It actually is. It’s all within the US and state borders shouldn’t be static anyway because they should really all be extensions of the federal or really central government.

If they aren’t well at least they should be honest and say that they aren’t for that. I personally am not for a federal system and instead prefer a unitary state run by a central government which is run by a constitutional military dictatorship.
Why? Lincoln should have simply let the southern states go and declared those in chains aren’t my problem and let Maryland succeed too thereby sandwiching the capital in between two successions states?
The capital probably would have been moved. But ya if you really respected the democratic rule and the idea of self determination than sure that’s what should have happened.
But as you seem to not have read the second paragraph which is very important you seem to think that I wanted the south to leave. Which couldn’t be farther from the truth given I think that Lincoln and Co should have demolished the federal system right then and there.
