14th Amendment language emphasizes ‘United States’ is separate from the 50 american states
A part of the 14th Amendment, which I just noticed, clearly points out that United States does not mean the 50 American states. It says, “Neither the United States nor any state…“. If United States meant the 50 states, they wouldn’t need to add ‘nor any state’. But as everyone knew at that time, United […]

The USofA is a Union, not a Nation-State, and Why This Matters
When referring to The United States of America, President Lincoln called it a union, not a state or country. Lincoln said, “I do not expect the Union to be dissolved.” We have been mistakenly taught in schools, through songs, and elsewhere that the USofA is a nation or country, when it is really a union, […]
