The United States of America...REALLY!
That declaration I have never truly understood. To me, United is (One). Here in the (United States) each state determine their own laws...etc. Maybe I am way off in my thought...The laws should cover The United States of America...the reality is each state has their rules...HOW is that United? Bring your opinions on!

Note I said 'was'.
After the Civil War, the Union became more of a monolithic centralized government.
Eveidence - Prior to the Civil War, the U.S. was referred to by the pronoun 'they'; since the Civil War, the U.S. has been referred to as 'it'.
Words do have meaning, no? And power.
Also, some time after the Civil War a clergyman composed the Pledge To The Flag...so Murkuns could proclaim their unity.
In the 1950s, politicians added the words 'under God'...which have since caused some degree of dis-unity.
Go figure
Stupid politicians
colony as an independent body, 13 states, not as a whole.
during the war this created lots of problem for the ones running the war
not every colony agree to do this or that
all colonies were forced to be a nation, not 13 countries.
every colony wanted their own power.
and every state has its own flag.
For instance, people who live in the far north, rely upon fire arms for obtaining food, and for protection from wildlife, (fire arms are common place) , where in the south , where firearms are not a necessity , how can you have one set of laws for two, different situations.
