    This is not half the country splitting up, this is an island.

    If the confederacy evacuated to florida, diverged culturally, was defacto independent and minding thier own business other than some stupid ancient political fued that doesn’t matter?

    Hell yes they should be independent. I would be utterly ashamed of the US for invading a Florida that did not want to be invade.

      I said it in a different comment: one side drives the other to Long Island. Both sides continue to say they are the US, neither wants to sign a peace treaty or even armistice, both sides want and claim the other’s land. They don’t say they’re independent, they say they are the US. And in this case Long Island controls yoursea access and is supported by a hostile country. Remember the war never ended, neither side signed or wanted to sign shit. What now? Who gets to decide? Do foreign countries get to decide?

      People today are still obsessed with the civil war and fly Confederate flags, and that shit was actually settled and a long time ago too. China’s is much more recent and still relevant. See my other comments.
