They will just as soon take a part of Texas (Lets say a good number of the south west countys of Texas) then the whole state..
They just need to concentrate enough of their folks in an area claim there a new country bitch to the UN .. and split off on a county or by area
I mean once the secession you predict starts what in the world makes you think state borders will stay respected ....remember Yugoslavia?
If there ever is a U.S. break up it will be a feeding frenzy ...old border will be irrelevant.
And if there is a U.S. break up in the next 50 years the U.N. will stick its nose in it
First because U.S. breaks mean the last national superpower is dead and the U.N. will become the superpower of the world
They will want to insure a peaceful political correct split up of the body and U.N. one worlders types have no love for the U.S.A. or the old C.S.A
In thay event, we Yankees and you Rebs will both be up to our asses in blue helmets
American was formed on the slogan United or Die
If it ever dies it will be on the oldest tactic of war "Divide and Conquer"
if i'm right about secession, the division will be peaceful and the independent nations will learn to live/trade together as good neighbors.
quit kidding yourself-the UN is powerless, unless most of the the member states decide to do something,then the UN blue helmets will be IRRELEVANT.
i for one think the UN will wither and die, as more and more countries see it for what it really is = a collossal FAILURE and a waste of money.
as for the new and much improved Southron Republic, of which i write and dream, will chose NOT to be a superpower but rather to be: anti-imperialist,pro-free trade,religious, neutralist in foreign policy BUT armed to the teeth for defense,have few taxes, well-controlled borders and a willingness to stay out of other nations business. i think we will resemble the Swiss Republic, but with a much warmer climate!
for that day of dixie FREEDOM,sw
