It’s what makes us “United States”
This is an over complicated explanation. The President of the United States is elected by the United States - it’s in the very name. The nation is made up of separate states joined together in a Union - it’s in the very name.
” The nation is made up of separate states joined together in a Union - it’s in the very name.”
Exactly. To be more exact, in the future, all official government press releases, as well as the common language of conservatives, should forever return to the phrase, “THESE UNITED STATES,” instead of “THE UNITED STATES.”
One of the casualties of the outcome of the CIVIL WAR. We are truly not a single entity, but instead, A UNION. We can only be said to be UNUM in the sense of the motto E PLURIBUS UNUM.
