BS The difference is secession for a cause such as the founders declared independence for, taxation without representation, or the perpetuation of slavery that the south seceded over. The federal government has been out of control since FDR. Secession should be looked at.
By the way, FDR never lost a southern state, so don't get any ideas that the south is not immune to overreach by the feds. The 1861 attempted secession was an abomination to freedom, we should look to 1776 as our inspiration.
Let me put it this way. I’m 61. It won’t happen in my lifetime.
