This is 159 years later. The great empires in Europe shed independent nations behind them from Ireland to Moldova, and there's a judo move in that the red hats have been having erotic dreams about secession and the CSA for a generation.

I could see California doing it. The GOP would be enticed by potential electoral dominance for a generation, and the red hats think CA is a drain on the nation. Then comes VT, which would join Canada, followed by MA (Ind or Canada)and HI (In some loose association with CA, minus military land).

Minnesota isn't strongly Democratic. I don't see a 50+1 vote, and I don't see the 60-70 percent support needed to convince the US government not to fight it.
