Secession or No secession

Al A Bama · Sep 19, 2014

I was a little happy to see the vote in Scotland turn out the way it did.

Apparently 1 in 4 Americans would be for their state seceding.

Like I've said before, I would not mind seeing Texas secede but only if they annex the states of the SEC. However, I do like the USA remaining as is if we can get rid of bad people in government and most of the bureaucracy!

I was going to link this article to a previous thread, but I couldn't find that thread.

And in another vote yesterday in Scotland, the Royal and Ancient Golf Club has voted to allow female members.

There was another one, but for some reason, they only show 6 pages of NS threads.

Thomas Jefferson wrote this in a letter to William H. Crawford 20 July 1816:

Thomas Jefferson said:
In your letter to Fisk, you have fairly stated the alternatives between which we are to choose : 1, licentious commerce and gambling speculations for a few, with eternal war for the many; or, 2, restricted commerce, peace, and steady occupations for all. If any State in the Union will declare that it prefers separation with the first alternative, to a continuance in union without it, I have no hesitation in saying, "let us separate." I would rather the States should withdraw, which are for unlimited commerce and war, [while we would] confederate with those alone which are for peace and agriculture.

South Carolinian Lawrence Keitt, in a letter to William Murray, 22 September 1860:

Lawrence Keitt said:
It has been asked, if any state can secede at her pleasure, what guarantee is there of the Union? I answer none, none whatsoever, except common interest, good faith, and public opinion. And there should be none but these. When these will not avail, the Union is accursed, and only a slave or a tyrant should cling to it.

Really? If true, that's surprising and admirable.
