The Articles of Confederation weren’t ratified until 1781. 5 years into the war.
Because the states. Couldn’t. Work. Together.

Sometimes the misuse of the word "ironic" is itself ironic. Whoa, dude; meta.

Re: Civil War Doomsday Clock
The corrupt process of the 1787 counter-revolution did at least result in some compromises, i.e., the Bill of Rights.The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.
https://tenthamendmentcenter.com/about/ ... amendment/
Adoption of the Constitution of 1787 was opposed by a number of well-known patriots including Patrick Henry, Samuel Adams, Thomas Jefferson, and others. They passionately argued that the Constitution would eventually lead to a strong, centralized state power which would destroy the individual liberty of the People. Many in this movement were given the poorly-named tag “Anti-Federalists.”
The Tenth Amendment was added to the Constitution of 1787 largely because of the intellectual influence and personal persistence of the Anti-Federalists and their allies.
It’s quite clear that the Tenth Amendment was written to emphasize the limited nature of the powers delegated to the federal government. In delegating just specific powers to the federal government, the states and the people, with some small exceptions, were free to continue exercising their sovereign powers.
The Tenth Amendment Center is a pretty hip place if you haven't found it before.
