Actually, it would be independent states, not united ones. Think "pre confederacy" and not the 1860's one. Immediately after the american revolution was successfully prosecuted, there was no united states. The states bound together in a confederacy.

A collapse of the federal government does not mean the collapse of 50 states.

The federal government has worked itself into an unsustainable position. It will fail.

If all the states seceded - then the productive states may choose to re-affiliate. I seriously doubt that States like California, NY, and Mass would be allowed into the any group containing Texas, LA, Miss, Alabama, and Georgia. And given the nature of the “gun control” laws in these states, California and Mass would be too chicken to join in anyway (not to mention the likely “no free handouts” policy).
