First to Secede?

[porcupine]

Vermont's secession movement is the most popular and successful at this point. New Hampshire's movement is gaining steam as the Free State Project gains steam and the Federal Government becomes more tyrannical.

Alaska or Texas.

This is my guess.

Alaska or Texas.

+1

Although, frankly, if things get bad enough in California they might just have to be the first to go.

Though it seems to me that it will be important to have access to the great lakes

virgil, if a secessionist Texas were to be attacked, it would be from the Red River, not the Rio Grande. Even then, I can't see even the US having long term success conquering a nation of 25 million armed people. Just look at how successful they have been in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Unlikely. IF Texas goes, so does Oklahoma.

Superior

The population is very small per square mile, and the area is quite depressed. But there are abundant untapped resources like Iron, Copper, and possibly Diamonds for that area to sustain themselves.

The state of Superior.
But not till the crash and society descends into chaos.

New Hampshire. Everyone knows it's the place to be for people who believe in liberty, and if the government gets tyrannical enough for people to start placing escape from it as a higher priority than career -- there will be a mass exodus to NH. Heck, there already is an exodus.

Texas. Texas all ready has polled that 25% of the population are openly calling for secession, and Texas is currently the only State in which the Governor can come out and talk about Secession, and actually RALLIES CROWDS and get's MARK UP'S in the polls for it. Besides, Texas has a storied history about its Independance, whereas NH isn't as.

I think it'll go Texas > NH > Oklahoma > Alaska as the first four.
