And perversely proud of it.  The South fought a war about Secession, the
New England states threatened to secede during the early years
(President
Jefferson?  Madison? somebody,) California toyed with it at one point
IIRC although that, like dividing the state at the Tehacapis
{spelling?},
is/was more an intellectual exercise then likely reality, and there are
several groups under surveillance who want [fill in state or region] to
secede from the union.
