I’m thinking that, given a chance to vote in a fair election, America might be only 20 states - ME, VT, NH, MA, CT, RI, NY, NJ, PA, DE, MD, IL, CA, OR, WA, HI, NM, WI, MI, and IA. Losers move out to preferred states.

Mutual defense pact and mutual trade (no teriffs) would keep both sides safe. Otherwise, go your own way.

Oh, and slavery is NOT an isue, so let’s not fight the Civil War again on this thread.

IF SECESSION NOT BE, THEN REVOLUTION MUST.

Was thinking more along the lines of deportation or this

[Alas Babylon!]

I want you to adjust a copule of those states based on recent events.

First, take OUT Wisconsin (Scott Walker!) and replace with Minnesota.

New Hampshire, if it can deport all the Massholes, should be an independent republic.

Depopulate Portland, Oregon; send them packing back to San Francisco, and you would have a very conservative state, and Pacific coast access, too.

Colorado and Nevada are teetering on the brink...
