Why is it always Texas people talk about when the idea of secession comes up? I mean, Vermont has many times fussed about wanting to secede, and since 2004 the Second Vermont Republic has been trying to garner interest in secession. Montana (2008), the islands of Martha’s Vineyard and Nantucket (1977), Georgia (2009), and Alaska (2006) have all entertained the idea.
The First North American Secessionist Convention was attended by a number of secessionist groups, including Alaskan Independence Party, Cascadia Independence Project, Hawaiʻi Nation, The Second Maine Militia, Free State Project participants, the Republic of New Hampshire, the League of the South, Christian Exodus, the Second Vermont Republic, Texas Secession, and the United Republic of Texas.
Additionally some members of the Lakota people of Montana, Wyoming, Nebraska, and the Dakota region are also making steps to separate from the United States. The self-proclaimed Republic of Lakotah has made a point to say that their actions are not those of secession, but rather an assertion of independence of a nation that was always sovereign and did not join the United States willfully.
So why pick on Texas all the time?
PS If Dubya thinks he will be a Texan if Texas secedes he needs to remember that he was born in Connecticut.
