Do you think the US could've avoided the whole "Bleeding California" thing? Maybe have one California instead of having it split at 37° into 2 states?
It didn't help to stop the Civil War, but maybe California could've gone from Baja all the way to Oregon, rather than having 2 states. My friend Mike Cleary from Saltillo, Rio Grande, said his ancestors fought in the so-called "War of Two Californias" over there and thinks it's impossible to have had one state so big, with the huge culture clash - the southerners racing across the continent, and everyone else into the north, all looking for gold and land. What do you guys think?
