If the southern states had in fact seceded (or been allowed to), we would have lost our original form of government.

Texas threatened to break off from the Union some years back, I wonder what would have happened if they succeeded.


Funny you should mention that. I just finished watching Michael Badnarik's Constitutional class for Patriots. About seven hours long but you can google it.

Who, speaking for the State of Texas, threatened to secede exactly?

I am not aware of any serious threat, by anyone in a position to make such a threat.. but I suppose some random State Legislator could of said something, but I don't think that would qualify as "Texas threatened to.."

-TedHappened around 10 years ago, it was during Clinton's administration. If it had happened, and there was a lot of support for it, it would have been the second time Texas had seceded from the Union, the first time being in 1861.
