Not really.
No matter the outcome of the Scottish independence vote, it shows that states can peacefully secede from a long established political union without going to war over it.
Such has been my contention all along, when discussing possible Texas secession.
The vote might go the other way if we held it in Texas. And unlike Scotland, Texas could easily hold its own as an independent nation.
...” Texas could easily hold its own as an independent nation”...
Now that could almost make me move there!
