American Secession

In "American Secession," F. H. Buckley explores the deepening divisions within the United States, suggesting that the current political climate may lead to a desire for secession. He argues that the U.S. is too large, both in population and area, and presents evidence that smaller nations tend to be happier and less corrupt. Buckley examines global secession movements, challenging the notion that America is immune to such a split, and reveals how easily a state could leave the Union if desired. He also offers an alternative solution—what he terms "Secession Lite"—to help bridge divisions while maintaining American identity.
