Blue-sky thinking: Why not split the USA?

[Rajvik]

Labster, Matrix, you are both misunderstanding what I meant there, I probably didn't phrase it well. The US civil war had a physical regional divide amongst the beliefs. Slavery in the south for instance was both urban and rural, and the north was anti-slavery both rurally and urbanely. This civil divide would be mostly urban versus rural and completely progressive liberal versus conservative. The problem with that is that there are not enough productive rural liberals to support an urban populace, and thus are dependent upon the rural conservatives to survive.
