If there was a CW II Texas would be the focus of the Rebellion But Others states would join her—Louisiana (weak but they know how to party and make great food—they also have a great port city) Oklahoma (Lots of tough people, farmlands and oil)
Mississippi (Lots of southern Tradition and farms) New Mexico, Lots of tradition, Arizona, (The stand alone state) Many illegals would join up in the new Nation at the promises of Citizenship in the Constitutionalist States of America. Maybe more of old Dixie would join save Florida and Virginia. Who would be the First President of the New CSA? I say Newt G. or Ron Paul! I think Alaska will join as an independent ally —Sarah Palin as President of the Alaskan Republic. Maybe join Canada! or seek help from Russia.
Weren't all that weak in 1812..............Just saying.
Still have a few pirate types and ne'er-do-wells types :)
