Never concede an inch of soil.

With a secession you end up with two independent countries. It's a creative process, like cell division.

I think it is pretty silly to think that any state could secede. Too many competing interests and too much to lose. Simply not possible on any practical grounds.
Not even Alaska or Hawaii.
