They were not sovereign nations to start with. The analogy is false.

Don't know your history do you ?

The states that originally ratified the US constitution plus Texas,
California and Hawaii were all sovereign when they joined so that's all but
Alabama in the list above.

Yeah, right. A bunch of armed settlers forming an irregular army with a
constantly shifting border with Mexico does not make a sovereign state.

I'd like to see you explain that in Dallas…
