Changes

'''Secession''' is the formal withdraw of a smaller political entity from a larger one, usually a [[nation-state]]. It is separated from [[revolution]] in that it doesn’t necessarily involve a change in the form of [[government]]. In the history of the [[United States]], the most prominent example is the secession of the Southern states in late 1860 and 1861, but there were threats from [[New England]] in the early 1800s. Recently secession has been talked about in New England (mostly [[Vermont]] and [[New Hampshire]]), [[California]], [[Alaska]], [[the South]], and [[Hawaii]]. These movements are small but are gaining some traction. Outside of the United States, [[Quebec]] and [[Alberta]] have considered secession from [[Canada]], and history is full of examples of secession.

Even though the South lost their war for independence the United States has been the sight of recent calls for secession. In New England many liberals have made calls of secession from the US Government because of the [[Iraq War]] and other reasons.
