Yes, they formed a UNION. Are you really ignoring the word or just
pretending to ignore it?
And why did they unionize? To stand together against tyranny is why! Pure
and Simple.

I believe it was a Republican who said, "I do not expect the Union to be
dissolved -- I do not expect the house to fall -- but I do expect it will
cease to be divided. It will become all one thing, or all the other."

Sorry, my liberal friend,
The founding fathers created a union of *states*.
