Could secession happen?
I have to refresh memory about states leaving the union at the time of the Civil War. But if I recall correctly, South Carolina was the first to secede, and then other states joined in.
If one state were to secede, would others join; would the floodgates open up?
History tells us that President Lincoln used military force to keep states in the union. Would military force be used today, if states wanted to secede? I wonder about that aspect of things.
Military force to include ‘foreign volunteers’ (Lincoln made extensive use of that one also), UN Volunteer foreign militaries units (Bengla Desh, Pakistan, China, Cuba we pay as well as the ‘new’ National Volunteers recruited from Black Thugs Matter, Antifa and street gangs from BLUE City, you know the Baltimore Blues, the Chicago Black Panthers. Also lots of drone and air strikes., and DHS ‘National Police Corps’
I don’t that the US has ever fought an all-out internal guerrilla war
No way would DC not use military to stop secession. They would even equate it to the 1860s saying the secessionists today want to control LGBTQ, women & minorities like last time (?)

The politicians are too heavily invested in the status quo to allow any kind of secession movements to threaten their careers. Just saying.
