What if the south did secede again? Would the north fight this time? Would it win?
If Hillary has the nuclear codes then the South would be a radioactive wasteland while the North would be under Sharia law.
“What if the south did secede again? Would the north fight this time? Would it win?”
The South is no longer your Great Grandpappy’s South. Demographics has shifted too much; industrialization, migration from the north and west, immigration, social media impact, on and on. Window for secession shut several years ago. Now, if you want to talk about states evolving into semi-autonomous blocks meaning less federal control and more states rights then that has possibilities. Texas seems to be evolving along this path right now in fact.
I don’t see any success in secession or civil war. It would be asymmetric and look a lot like terrorism.
Wouldn’t expect it from fat dumb and happy ordinary americans. Just opportunistics and infiltration of foreign provocateurs and the lone wolf fighting a personal war.
I find it hard to believe that there would be anything more than a court fight after any state or states seceded. Keep in mind, what the ruling political class's masters, the Donor class, want is a broken, weakened US.
Secession, while it would be great for states like Maine, would be devastating for states like Kansas an Utah, states that are landlocked.
Interesting mental exercise.
However, Mr. Lincoln expunged the Jeffersonian dictum
that government’s just powers are derived from the consent of the governed.
The north fight?
With what?
They no longer have any manufacturing worth mentioning and are totally dependent on the refineries in Texas.
Depending on if the state national guard units would turn weapons on their own people.
Imo, the Texas national guard alone could destroy Washington in 4 days.
Washington using nukes would destroy the federal government
