"You act like that's a bad thing."
It would be a very bad thing. I suspect that you don't have the faintest idea how bad it could be.
The previous U.S. Civil War was the war with the highest U.S. body count, by far, with somewhere between 700,000 and 1 million Americans dead (counting both military and civilians).
"A good chunk of the US would be modern social democratic countries if the south seceded. "
Wait: so you expect the side without any guns to win a civil war? How does that work?
- flukus 9y agoSecession doesn't have to mean war. They declare independence, every one else says "that's ok let's negotiate terms", no war required. The whole civil war was avoidable.
- Turing_Machine 9y ago> Secession doesn't have to mean war. Perhaps, but historically that's not the way to bet. I can think of maybe two or three cases of peaceful secession, and dozens of cases where it resulted in a bloody civil war.
