Sure, which is why I take the secession documents from South Carolina and other states at face value.

The fact that one party wanted to leave and the other was determined to make them stay tells you about who was getting what in return from the relationship.
Except one party did leave and wanted something the other party had when they did not have the leverage to do so.

That’s just how relationships work, it’s praxeological.
But not in geopolitics, which is what is at issue. The party who has the power sets the rules. Fundamentally you agree, since that is also how relationships between larger and smaller states works, praxeologically speaking.

I’m not sure what your point is here, unless you’re talking about an exchange you’ve been having with someone else.

Praxeology is about what’s deducible from actions taken. I’m saying that by actions taken, we can deduce who was benefiting from union and who was being taken advantage of. As far as the North being more powerful I don’t disagree but might doesn’t make right.
