I KNOW!!! Lets pay off our debt with it!!!Let them deal with those damn coins.

 

If they succeed at seceding, they'll have done what the CSA failed to accomplish!

 

No, the CSA successfully seceded, but they went to war with what was left of the US and lost becoming an occupied territory. Then over time the various states that made up the Confederacy, left the Confederacy ad rejoined the Union. Since the government of the Confederacy had been overthrown they had no way to try and prevent the states from leaving.

If the southern states had failed at succession then at the end of the war they would simply have simply returned to where they were before the war and taken their place in the Union government again. But that did not happen. Instead they had to "Jump through various hoops" passing various laws, adopt three amendments to the US Constitution, etc. before they would be allowed to rejoin the Union. If they had to rejoin, then it stands to reason that they must have succeeded in leaving.

The fact that there were requirements that the southern states had meet to rejoin also should also establish the precedent that it IS possible to leave the Union.

 

Let Vermont go.

 

There are parts in all our countries we wish were part of other country. For instance Chechenya Republic should go to Azerbaidzhan. S. Ossetiya want to be part of Russia, so I propose that give Chechen to Azerbaidzhan, and Russia gets S. Ossetiya in return. But think also Kaliningrad oblast should go Poland or Lithuania instead of Russia. It not really part of Russia, but now lot of Russian live there. And then there Vlad Zhirinovskyi, think Alaska should come back be part of Russia :goofer:

 

No, because in the year that appears on the coin VT was a state even if it left later. So there would be no false advertising.
