[quote=Freeman][quote=Anonymous]I think the toughest part would not be the constitutional process. The balance sheet for the South is the problem. The southern states would go almost immediately into default because they can't cover their expenditures with revenue, even if the new southern nation kept the current Federal tax schedule. They are net dependents on northern revenue.[/quote] That's actually why I said the outcome would be the same as before, or at least one of the reasons. In the Civil War, the North also had an overwhelming advantage in manufacturing capability. That may not be present today, but that could easily be offset by the ability to purchase any needed assets. Regardless, it is really only an exercise in intellectual curiosity, since only the extreme anti-American fringe would actually support it.[/quote]
