We recently came across the following question on Quora: “ If every state of the USA declared war against each other, which would win?“
We’ve published the full answer from Quora user Jon Davis, a Marine veteran who is now a writer and blogger on military, veterans, and Middle Eastern affairs. In Oct. 2014, Davis’ answer was optioned by a Hollywood producer for a potential television series.
These are the accounts of the Second American Civil War, also known as the Wars of Reunification and the American Warring States Period.

California is too vunerable.
Cut off the food, water, fuel, and electricity to Socal/Bay area, and the civil war would be over within days.
The Liberal Academic Socialists would very quickly be over=whelmed by their own gimme-dat voters.
Your family must be coastal. The state’s interior folk aren’t pussies.
I think it is silly to start this with 50 sovereign states wanting to be independent and separate. There are some natural alliances just waiting for a chance!
Remember that Texas was part of the original Confederacy. I think much of old Dixie would be glad to confederate with Texas again. Therefore I do not see an Alabama-Georgia-Carolinas merger without Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas, Mississippi and Tennessee.
Texas could even lead. It’s good.
Florida? Split. The New Texan Confederacy takes the top Spanish moss part. Maybe Oklahoma would willingly join. Perhaps southern Virginia, Kentucky and West Virginia.
From that, the Texan Confederacy would already be the winner, or at least sooner rather than later.
What about the citizens of Rochester, Syracuse and Ithaca? Most liberal person I ever met was from Greece, NY.
They will need to be repatriated back to NYC and Lon Guyland, with their emotional/mental cohorts.
Similar to “Jerico” of CBS???
Right on. An hour drive north or west out of NYC and your in cherry Red country. Jersey sout if 195 might as well be Oklahoma.
Utter and complete BS scenario.
Strategic military assets would know origination of any nuclear weapons launch affecting U.S. landmass. Hardened systems are built to survive much more than an EMP at altitude burst. SSBN force, land based launch facilities, satellite assets remain intact unless foreign assault. Civilian electrical assets knocked out have immediate consequences.
Large cities would face insufficient water for a population without access to fuel or electricity within 48 hours. Survivors of water riot exit for surrounding countryside.
Agriculture only drops to 10% capacity if luck is good. Population diaspora from cities thins to 20% survivors from attrition due to exposure of the elements, lack of resources, and armed opposition from rural populace.
Cuba would be hard pressed to resist occupying southern 2/3 of Florida.
They’ve got gas (conceptually it’s America’s 3rd string Air Force which means these planes need to be deployable), and there’s plenty of pilots around here. Thanks to Hughes and other defense contractors in the area this is a serious Air Force retirement town.
We have air superiority, we can get Texas’ gas.
No i get it born and raised in so California. People dont get it. Ive watched the left wing plague ..
It’s no coincidence Marcus Luttrell and Chris Kyle are both from Texas. That’s the way we grow ‘em here in the Lone Star State. I feel sorry for anybody on the other side when the shtf.
“I always considered any contemporary “civil war” as, not state against state but, Patriots against liberal scum. No doubt which would win.”
That’s the way I envision it also. The republic would still be a mess to restore.
And I hope I die lloonngg before it goes down.
We may now have a 4 to 8 year stay of the progress toward that scenario.
Hard to believe California and Washington are at/near the top. By the time we got the environmental permits to run the tanks off the roads we would be overrun already.
Are you the one that posted about an ancestor from the Revolutionary war that ran in that neck of the woods against the Brits? It was on a thread awhile ago. Anyway - tough folks down there (still), tricky terrain.
Is that the same Jericho that was cancelled? Good show but I lost track after about the fourth or fifth episode.
NY would pay NJ to fight for it.
Probably. People still have such a neat, orderly image of that war due to sanitized history books, Minutemen and such. What won the war was far grittier and not so pretty.
Well, Indiana got your southern flank. Might have a problem with Illinois though. At least up in the NW corner of the state. Not too worried about Kentucky, we could always blow the bridges. We still got a few military facilities too. Wonder if Grissom could get their B-58 operational. ;-)
