As early as 1832, South Carolina had proposed a secession from the United States.

Jackson vehemently opposed it

The War of Yankee Aggression obviously did not settle the secession issue once and for all. We are still talking about it 155 years later. California is taking active steps to secede!

As early as 1814 a number of New England states proposed secession. See 'Hartford Convention'. They disliked the Louisiana Purchase, the War of 1812 and felt closer kinship to Great Britain than to the rest of the country.

Some of them came from the Essex Junto, an even earlier New England group of prominent politicians advocating secession.

Sounds like the sanctuary cities controversy with a different hat. Trump is right again.
