The problem America has today is that our entire society is being intentionally demonized and corrupted. The conditions in America prior to the civil war makes for an easy target and those who are contaminating our country with their extreme leftist ideology are using that history to expedite their agenda.
This is *ONLY* possible because the Civil War destroyed the individual sovereignty of the states and put us under the thumb of a central power.
I'm curious as to what we would look like, had the States gone their various directions? Would we have expanded west successfully? Who would control the vast western territories, Mexico? Would Texas have become a country, and would they have survived?
This is an academic question and not a swipe at anyone.
The US would probably look a lot like the Balkans do in Europe. Several smaller nations or confederations of states.
You can bet the great powers like England would have been very active in either setting up client states or outright annexing territory if they thought it could be done without too much opposition.
