You missed out that before all this the Americans fought a war to gain their Independence and control their own sovereignty against England.
The union works because all the people are Americans and all pull together for the greater good of THEIR country and are not ruled over by other nations and cultures.
Perhaps your fathers vision of a federal Europe is not one that the rest of us agree with.
It wasn't all the American States that fought the British - just 13 of the Northern States - something many of the Southern States are keen to 'forget'.
Irrespective It still remains that the federal system works in the States because it's all done in house and not handed out to non Americans to deal with.
We more or less have the same system in place here with Parliament, the Welsh Assembly, the Scottish Parliament and the Northern Ireland Executive.
And aren't we all Europeans?
