There’s a lot of talk going around about secession and immediately the Civil War is invoked by both sides. Both sides seem to agree that if a State or States choose to secede from the Union a military conflict will inevitably result. That may have been true in 1860, it is not necessarily the case today. In 1860 no one ever got anything through non-violence. Thanks to people like Dr. King and Mahatma Gandhi there’s an alternative strategy. If a State or group of States declared independence and simply ceased to co-operate with the Feds, what’s DC going to do? Attack? Wouldn’t that look great on CNN. Armed rebellion would simply justify a heavy handed response from Washington.
