Good thing for them they never tried unilateral secession. Turns out that they would have been as wrong in 1814 as the southern states were in 1861.

IIRC, there were a couple of Northern secession crises, one in 1814, one in the 1850s--and the South made it clear BOTH TIMES that they would force the North to stay in the United States no matter what.
