Remember secession is a legal act. It was the war that was not. At the beginning there was a rebellion about where state rights ended an Federal power began. Secession was not even on the table for most of the states till after Lincoln started calling for troops to quell the rebellion. (Federal law prohibits the use of our military to fight its own people no matter what the situation.) It was the act of calling up troops to attack other US citizens that fueled the secession movement. Thats why its called the "Cival War" in the north an "The War of Norther Aggression" in most of the south.
Alot like what is going on now. It would be a hard sell to get congress to allow a war on our home soil now.
As for size an infrastructure... Georgia is bigger than most other countrys in the world an is one of the few states that is still in a self sustainable state. We have a stable population, magor ports an airfields, ample produce ,many factorys an we are the gateway to one of the most visited states in the union....
If any state can do it Georgia can.
Reb, I agree on most all of your points. Actually, if I were able to influence Georgia with my fringe mass-privatization ideas, they would have to pay near-zero for highways and schools. Secession is 100% legal, after all, how else do you describe the 13 colonies leaving the British Empire? What about the secession of the various republics from the USSR? Also, saying Georgia would be no match for the US military is wrong. With all these militias springing up, you're going to have one h*** of a guerilla war on your hands. You cannot win a guerilla war. To my knowledge, it has never been done.
Also, there would not necessarily be a war, if only for the reason that nearly all of our troops are stationed across the globe in 178 countries for no discernable reason. However, it would take a dictator of epic proportions to declare war on a State that has done nothing violent, and Barack Obama is much too good-natured for that. He's no Lincoln, thank Heaven. (I realize a dislike of Lincoln would be considered "fringe" and racist by many people, if you have questions just PM me about it.)
If there were a war, I would do everything in my power to subvert and demoralize the DC government, and do everything possible to get NC, SC, Virginia, and the rest of the South to secede as well and aid Georgia. On my honor as a Southerner, I would defend any seceding State.

If The Great State of Georgia goes, so goes jjdward!!!
I have traveled to many states and I will have to say I have come across lots of good people, but my heart belongs in the Empire State Of the South!!!
WISDOM, JUSTICE, AND MODERATION

Hope our state follows Georgia's lead if not MOVE...
Wait- is Georgia part of the union? I guess I wouldn't notice if it seceded then.
BTW- the whole "southern hospitality" thing is a myth. If you pull in someone's driveway you don't know on this mountain- you better be prepared to take fire.
