@catlynne333 The US determined that US citizens in US territory controlled by domestic terrorists had the right to protection by the US army. Grant went scorched earth on them.
@catlynne333 Also, which badassed states keep wanting to secede and do things on their own and better than the rest of the US? Oh the ones constantly needing their ass bailed out with natural disasters. Within one year they'd be holding a hand out after yet another disaster they did not handle with state resources alone.
@catlynne333 From a practical standpoint anyone who faces nearly annual disaster needs to think how well they are going to survive on their own. Might want to have some effing land in a non hurricane zone. Otherwise all the enemy needs to do is wait a year.
@AnnetteTRemain @catlynne333
But where ISN'T a hurricane zone? It's 450 miles from Asheville, NC to the Gulf Coast.
@MelissaHDavis Most of the secessionist states are in hurricane strike areas. @catlynne333
@AnnetteTRemain @catlynne333
And a lot of them aren't, see Hurricane Sandy.
No one is going to secede; no state could survive without federal monies and the proposed tariffs would kill the idea.
