No, it wasn't attempted in 1860, a new country was formed, peacefully I might add, until the North finally pushed the south into a shooting war. That war settled nothing, states rights are still on the minds of voters. I don't think we need to appoint a new government, I think we need to vote them out. However, if you think that violence can be avoided if the present course of action continues you have your head square up your a**.
I guess you think we should just let them finish us off without doing anything about it.
