On the Fact that, Even After the Constitution Was Ratified by Every State, New Yorkers, Virginians, etc. Continued to Identify Themselves Much More by Their State Affiliation than by Their National Citizenship

Yeah, the centralizers, gun-toters and cronies (Hamilton, Clay, Lincoln, Wilson, the Roosevelts, etc.) eventually put a screaming halt to that (self-determination only being a good thing for Estonians, Latvians, Lithuanians, Ukrainians, etc. apparently)......and now we're ALL "Americans".
