Secession talk

"You know what? Just let me make one point. You were talking about the map before. If indeed all those blue states all got together and seceded from the union, think what would be left for those red states, nothing. There would be no educational system. You would have nothing. What would be left to you? I mean, where is all of this talent in this country? It's on both sides, the Northeast corridor." -Geraldine Ferraro, former vice presidential candidate. It was Democrats who seceded the last time from America, in 1861. They were in full righteous fury defending the morality of slavery.
