They didn't lose outright at that time.  Federalism became what it is today 
following the War of for Southern Independence.  It was, in fact, the very 
cause of the war.  The federalists said the US government could determine 
certain 
key issues (slavery being only one of many) and decentralists in the Southern 
states said it was a matter strictly for the states to decide.

Federalism won.   </HTML>
