You can blame a lot of todays problems on the founding fathers, but this isn't one of them IMO. They would have used the states names for their collective nouns.
If you're actually advocating for change, I think Yankee is a way better term than USians. I can't imagine people saying USians in a normal conversation, while Yankee rolls off the tounge.
Or just Yanks. I already call them this sometimes :P
