I think the lesson to be drawn from this is similar to what has happened throughout history to all great empires. At some point as the empire declines and its tyrannical overreach gets harder to bear, first the outer provinces begin with small rebellions and letters of entreaty. Then they start a form of civil disobedience. The empire tries to put down these minor rebellions but find that they are outnumbered, and new rebellions erupt in other provinces. Eventually, the empire collapses and all the provinces, both central and remote ones, are suddenly independent fiefdoms.
The Red State / Blue State divide is not simply a disagreement over policies, it is a roadmap of future reality.
Something like that seems to be happening in America today. With Congress and the Federal government now having an approval rating of about 8% or so, I expect to see these mini-rebellions continue, especially this year.
It appears the American Empire is slowly dying.... Long live the New American Republic. I just hope we adopt the original Constitution and the Bill of Rights as our own.
Oh yes, it looks like they are pretty much the same states.

Good history lesson. I hope long live the American Republic. The south will lead the fight.
Isn’t that funny that the south could secede again…
Is this where that Rebel gold comes in to play, still guarded by sentinels to this day? 😳
History repeat.
