It started with stingy Northern businesses moving plants to the South to take advantage of cheaper, more docile labor that wouldn't unionize to save their souls. Then people started moving there from devastated Northern areas for the jobs. The population shift gave the South more voting strength in Congress, so power has shifted to the Far Right.

In addition, such noxious cultural expressions as country music, NASCAR, and Fundamentalism have spread beyond their Southern base and infected the rest of the country.

In order to protect our way of life, should the North-- from Minnesota to Maine and down to Maryland-- secede from the Union? And maybe the West Coast be independent as well?

The South cannot object, since they tried secession before and still resent getting beat in the Civil War. This would enable them to have the Confederate Dystopia they always wanted. Maybe they can bring back slavery and minstrel shows.

Its funny you say you have to protect "your" way of life when you said yourself people moved to the South.

For the record,
Just because someone moves, doesn't change thier political mindset, if every one of you would vote then the power would shift the way you want it, no matter the population of a state.

You people screwed up your states, now you can't afford to live in them.

Leave the Union, but come take back everyone that moved down here first..

What you're asking replaced into already considered in the course of the warfare of 1812. The Hartford convention replaced into an adventure in 1814 contained in the USA in the course of the warfare of 1812 in which New England's competition to the warfare reached the point the position secession from the USA replaced into said. the top of the warfare with a go back to the status quo ante bellum disgraced the Federalist get at the same time, which disbanded in maximum places. As you'll see with the Conventions very last record, secession replaced into considered criminal. The convention ended with a record and resolutions, signed with the help of the delegates present, and followed on the day in the previous very last adjournment. The record stated that New England had a "duty" to declare its authority over unconstitutional infringements on its sovereignty — a doctrine that echoed the coverage of Jefferson and Madison in 1798 (contained in the Kentucky and Virginia Resolutions), and which may later reappear in a distinct context as "nullification." The Hartford convention's very last record proposed various amendments to the USA structure. those tried to wrestle the regulations of the ruling Republicans with the help of: a million) Prohibiting any commerce embargo lasting over 60 days; 2) Requiring a 2-thirds Congressional majority for any statement of warfare, admission of a clean state, or interdiction of overseas commerce; 3) eliminating the three-fifths representation income of the slaveholding South; 4) proscribing destiny Presidents to at least one time period; 5) Requiring each destiny President to be from a distinct state than his predecessor. (those very last provisions were aimed right away on the ruling Virginia Dynasty.) most well referred to as a lot because the civil warfare the States of Wisconsin and Masachusetts attempting to apply State Nullification to exclude federal fugative slave regulations.
