With Plentiful energy and food, the Central States of America can barter for anything else the may want.

This fantasy was true 150 years ago maybe. Today? Are you going to barter for farm subsidies too? These secessionists need a serious reality check.

Ok - sell the food to the (old) USA, use the money to buy whatever you want.

What percentage to the world’s food is produced in the heartland of North America?

What would happen if there was a small export tariff from the Central States?
