New York State was part of the United States of America. If the US goes to war, all states must comply. It is illegal for any ONE state to go to war by itself. If, for example, New York started a war with Great Britain, it would be illegal. Texas went to war with Mexico in 1836; but Texas was NOT part of the United States of America. Texas was it's own Republic (it's own country) until 1845. In 1845, Texas became a US State; it would have been ILLEGAL for Texas to go to war with Mexico after 1845.
