I'd argue the Civil War/Reconstruction is when America stopped being a Republic and started being an empire. Prior to the Civil War, the states, at least broadly, were a country because they wanted to be. Now, yes, it is true that many states joined after that period, however they gave up sovereignty in doing so. It's a one way trip, right?
