States are going to vary in innovation or how quickly a state can adopt new policies. The most important variables are demographic factors mainly income, how much urban area, agricultural/factory output, literacy, and years of education. There's also a political factor but it's not as important. States also group themselves together and there's usually a lead state and other states in the group look towards that state to see how it worked it out.
John C Calhoun was against innovation in ending slavery. He knew the south needed slaves to keep their industries alive. Fortunately he wasn't a successful statesmen or he would have spread slavery into the union. He was pretty smart and if anything I would only agree that states should have more power than the federal government.
