It worked fine. The South created a functioning govt. and a huge Army to repel an invasion from scratch! All in about 3 months. The war didn't go so well but then again their shouldn't have been a war after the secession. Lincoln wanted that war.
>> Big mistake. A national divorce doesn’t work as the first civil war demonstrated

Here’s the problem: The left is going to give you that war no matter what. The entire problem with the left is their inability to leave people alone who don’t believe as they do. They’re the Marxists and Communists who don’t rest until everyone thinks their way or is dead from a bullet in the back of the head.
During the Russian civil war the countryside basically followed what your suggesting. They let the cities go Communist while the countryside ignored them and stayed to their old ways. They thought the Marxists would starve to death in a few months so no reason to root them out. Instead the Marxist used their superior population density to raid the countryside for food and resources which ended up starving the whites out.
In the case of a civil war we have to take the fight to them right away and then remove them from the country or they will invade us and kill us all. National divorce doesn’t work.
