Certainly, they would have recognized important commonalities between themselves and the members of the other States, but not enough to imbue them with common identity transcending all others. I would argue that even though the constitution was ratified, the sense of the people never actually changed. That the collective "American" is still rather abstract. And that genuine social cohesion still occurs primarily at the local scale.
    I don't believe it was until after WWI that Americans thought of themselves more American than citizens of their state.

    The New Deal was FDR's successful coup that overturned the Constitution's limits on the Federal government. It was the crime of the 20th century.
    Call your state legislators and insist they approve the Article V convention of States to propose amendments.

    I have done a bit of research. As far as I can tell Hamilton did not argue for unlimited federal powers until several years after the Constitution was ratified. Hamilton was a deceiver.
