If Czechoslovakia could peacefully split into two new nations, the Czech Republic and Slovakia, then why can't the United States do so, too? From my perspective, the South is a backwards and regressive weight around the rest of the country. Their politicians in Congress hold back progress, and worse.
Let's cut the South loose. Let it go its own way (backwards). Fling open our doors to political refugees who do not want to remain in a theocratic authoritarian backwater. The rest of the nation will rocket ahead, and the South...will get what it deserves.
