Would have been great!<BR/><BR/>By the way there is a strong secession movement in Vermont right now.

However, there are a number of secession movements around the country today. I see no chance of any succeeding, though.<BR/><BR/>Best Regards!<BR/><BR/>LongstreetLongstreethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06712980841544338388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9871253.post-55297170345254368512007-06-21T06:58:00.000-04:002007-06-21T06:58:00.000-04:00After the "Civil War" didn't the Federal governmen...After the "Civil War" didn't the Federal government make it illegal for a state to seceed?
