Back then it actually had much sense. Khmelnycky uprising was in large part about it in fact, cossacks and less-polonised ruthenian nobility would love to see it, and it was passed in polish sejm as Union of Hadiach, but it was too late and after prorussian coup in the Sich it was never fully implemented.
The January Uprising idea was more desperate, though iirc ukrainian nationalism was not in the full swing yet, so considering the JU was noble based, the idea had some base too. If only they did won, then maybe, and maybe both ukrainian and polish nationalism would develop in the different direction.
We ultimately all are just reaping what the fucking black eagles sown back them.
