America wasn’t legally allowed to separate from England, either, but we did it anyway.

But we didn't do so - not legally anyway. We openly rebelled against their authority. And we took up arms to defend that position.

“We openly rebelled against their authority. And we took up arms to defend that position.”

Too true, and the same reaction would repeat today, if Texans came to to the realization that no amount of negotiating, or ‘working within the system’ was effectively answering or alleviating their grievances.

It all depends upon how far The People are pushed by the national government.

Personally, I feel that if Trump is elected, much that agrieves us will be alleviated. If not, then all bets are off.
