History of Europe

What was one main argument against the desire to secede from Union?

One main argument against the desire to secede from the Union was that it would lead to the destruction of the United States as a nation. Secession would have meant the end of the country as a single political entity and would have resulted in the creation of multiple smaller, independent states. This was seen as a threat to the unity, strength, and prosperity of the United States, as well as to its ability to defend itself against foreign enemies.
