And I say that neither slavery nor "secession" has any current following in this country is because it just doesn't.

You better look to the Southwest then. There's rumblings out there from the Hispanic population about setting up the Northern Republic or something. A couple of professors have written some papers about it and done a study or two. They have less of an argument than the Essex boys in the 1810s did, but hey I'd be curious to see if they try it in the next 40 years (at least that's their plan)

Northern Republic, huh? Well, you gotta admire them for their ambition. Each of us could probably have a lot more influence if we just had a little more ambition.

And if they try secession then you will support them, right?
