In 1783 no one ever thought that the United States would become the world's sole super power. To my understanding most thought that it would either break apart, or at best become a regional power. I've seen plenty of attempts at balkanizing America up(myself included). What I want to see is America not broken up, but reduced to a regional power. I think the best way for this to occur is for the United States to not acquire Louisiana. In order for this to happen you would need either for the Supreme Court to overrule the purchase and declare it unconstitutional, or for Jefferson to put his political idealism before political reality.
