Articles of Confederation passed, American Confederation

How would America look today if we didn't have a strong federal government, there was no Louisiana Purchase, no Mexican-American War, no Spanish-American War, no Manifest Destiny. How would we look if we had a more non-interventionilist government (not to be conused with isolationism)
 
Without a stronger centralized government the United States under the Articles of Confederation was most likely to break up. They were engaging in trade wars and treaties with foreign powers. I suggest reading my Timeline, America the Fallen, in my sig for what I hypothesized would happen.

What if the Articles were amended to allow Congress to collect taxes and regulate interstate trade?

Or if Thomas Jefferson had been at the Constitutional Convention?
