Secessionism is the belief in engaging in an act of secession; to withdraw from a union of states. The idea that it can be an "ism" implies that it is a political ideology. Past events involving the ideology include The Southern secession in 1860 and 1861 and the post-Obama election US State secession petitions, although they are unlikely to have an actual secession as an end result.
