Maybe these foolish supporters of Texas seceding from the Union should watch the film Lincoln.
Secession?
Believe it or not, yes.
There is a group of folks in Texas that has garnered over 72,000 signatures on the Internet.
72,000 people desiring to secede from the United States?
Are you kidding me?
This is NOT how we as Americans have settled our differences.
At least not since 1865.
Here's how an article puts it:
The leader of the secession movement in Texas says that President Barack Obama’s reelection was a “catalyzing moment” for his organization’s efforts to quit the United States"
Further,
"Miller continued: “As the economy worsened, people began to ask, ‘What if? Why do we need the middle man? Do we believe that we should have more layers of government than we absolutely need. Could Texas govern itself?’ I think really that self-determination is kind of the underpinning to all of this – the ability to provide Texas solutions to Texas problems.”
