"Since talk of secession is once again making the news here in the US, some here might want to reconsider their hard line beliefs regarding the war between North and South."

Rebellion and secession are two different terms. I see more talk of rebellion than secession.

I see some of both, and mostly from hot-heads hoping to agitate others to actually do the “heavy lifting”. Pity since it detracts from the serious business at hand.

I've seen both in the news, sort of depends on the level it's discussed at.

But at a level that most of us might experience such a schism, I don't think that the precise term used makes much of a difference.
