and helped everyone who wanted to leave the south, leave.

The US would be way ahead of the game, had the south become a separate nation.

Maybe with Putin in control of the US, it will come down to that. Let the states that want out, form new nations. Let the southern states be a nation, let the midwest become a country, let the west coast become a country,etc. Let the regions be sovereign nations and let the ones that want to work together form an economic union like the EU.

I wish South Carolina the best in their efforts.
