Good question. If the South had seceded, the two USes would probably be much weaker, maybe Germany or Russia would now be the dominant power.

would the US have been better off had the south seceded?
It seems to me that a majority of bible thumping, in-bred, uneducated, redneck republicans that are fucking up the US are from the south.
The north seems much more progressive and worldly.
- remember, the Bush family is from Connecticut not Texas, they were born in the North, moved to south.robotron3k

from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Col…
"Advocates for naming the United States "Columbia" continued to press for the name even after the United States Constitution was ratified. According to George R. Stewart, the name "United States" was criticized for being too long, inaccurate, and unpoetic, and that the Constitutional Convention of 1787 would have been the ideal time to change it. "
- 'unpoetic' is right.ribit
- I still don't know what the formal name is for citizens of the United States of America.Jaline
- Some people will say, "Americans", but, technically, that includes Canada.Jaline
- Wikipedia doesn't know either: http://en.wikipedia.…ribit

What would it be called? (and why haven't they ever decided on a REAL name for the USA... 'Columbia' was one of the proposals I think?)

Even scarier...had America not joined into ww2 when they did. Probably would have been to late and Nazi's would have stormed to world.
