    the first time when there was no such thing as interstates, air travel, cars, missles, bombs, radio, tv, internet, technology, and outspoken cowards?

    yeah this wouldn't happen again, they would just claim Marshall law on an attempt like that.

    Honestly, it would depend on the reasons and the situation. I know several states that have threatened to cancel the contract the made with the federal government due to infringement on states rights. It would be no different than a country removing itself from the EU or UAE. Truth be told, it is more than likely the only way to get our federal Government as a whole back in check, as they have violated numerous states rights on various occasions.

    Just because states have considered it doesn't mean its not crazy. The state legislature in GA brings up some crazy shit now and then. Succession from the union is just about the dumbest decision a state legislature can make.

    The Mormons moved to Utah to get away from the US and then ended up being part of the US anyways.

    It would solve a lot of problem, a lot of states are starting to apply for sovereignty.

    What would the South re-name itself if it did secede? I say we should call the new country Glenn Beckastan in honor of the man behind all this secessionist garbage, or in the spirit of free market capitalism you all could sell the name to the highest bidder... The Wal-Mart States of America or something like that.
