I think that Northern and Southern cultures are generally fundamentally different and incompatible. Wouldn't all Americans be better served, then, by a secession of one 'side'?
Granted, it wouldn't be an exact divide, so if a Bible-Thumping zealot from Vermont would be happier in the New Southern Nation, he'd have the option to move there.
Look, North and South generally don't like one another, and have different collective views on religion, role of government, America's place in the world, placement of junk cars in front yards, etc., so why not make a break?
The Midwest, aside from oases like Chicago or the Twin Cities, is essentially a colder, treeless extension of the South, so it would of course be part of the southern nation. The coastal NW would go to the North, while its would be a semi-autonomous region answerable, ultimately, to Atlanta.
So-Cal can join up with the north, as they are culturally far more compatible with Boston than Biloxi, despite their southern locale.

Commodities exchanged from country as an alternative of state to state as the alteration you propose would put a heavy burden on society. We would no longer be the strong power in the world that we now are and soon be run over by others and if we are to remain the best nation existing today we need each other and the differences we enjoy.

Wow. I thought we resolved that one a century and a half ago.
I'm a Floridian who now lives in New York; I'm happy to have both places as options. I'm proud of my heritage, I love my friends in the FLA and NYC, and I love being here. I love America because it is big enough and diverse enough to give everyone a place.

Wow, you did a lot of thinking on this. If this was to happen or even be talked about then everything America is based on is a lie. We are made up of different nationalities, cultures, religions, so on and so forth. We have the right to be different and to practice what we please. Splitting up didn't work in the past and it isn't going to work now.

I've lived and traveled all over the U.S. and you have people with the same type of cultures all over. I've met plenty of prejudiced people in the Northern states and open-minded Liberals in the South....you can't really label one entire area or region as all people being the same, they aren't thank God!!!!

We already had our Civil War, I don't think we should repeat that.
