<p>Shelby: Reorder</p> <hr /> <div>'''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.<br /> <br /> == History ==<br /> <br /> == United States ==<br /> <br /> === Hartford Convention ===<br /> The [[Hartford Convention]] met from December 15, 1814 to January 4, 1815 to discuss the New England states’ qualms with “[[James Madison|Mr. Madison]]'s War” (the [[War of 1812]]). The New Englanders were upset with the wars interference of trade with [[England]] and thought it an ill-thought out attempt to gain Canada. The Hartford Convention recommended 7 amendments to the Constitution and threatened secession if the demands weren't acted upon.<br /> <br /> === Texas ===<br /> In 1835, after offenses by the [[Mexican]] government, the foreign settlers in [[Texas]] (primarily Americans) decided to rebel against the Mexican Government. During the siege of [[The Alamo]] the Texans decided that it was time to declare their independence. After the [[Texas War of Independence]] Texas became a Republic and eventually joined the United States in 1845. See [[Jefferson State]].<br /> <br /> === The South ===<br /> The most famous example in US History of secession is the Southern Secession of late 1860 and 1861. After the election of [[Abraham Lincoln]] the South felt her power threatened from Northern [[Republicans]]. After their secession they formed the [[Confederate States of America]]. After 4 years of gruesome fighting in the [[American Civil War]] the South lost her independence.<br /> <br /> == Modern Examples ==<br /> <br /> === Canada ===<br /> Quebec, because of her [[France|French]] heritage, has talked of secession from Canada. The Canadian Supreme Court decided that Quebec and all other Canadian provinces have the right to secede. Alberta has also considered secession in recent years.<br /> <br /> === United States ===<br /> 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. The South has had some calls for secession from groups such as the League of the South. Other states that have secession movements are [[Alaska]], [[Hawaii]], and [[California]].<br /> <br /> === Eastern Europe ===<br /> In 2006, [[Montenegro]] peacefully seceded from [[Serbia]].<br /> <br /> ==See Also==<br /> * [[Jefferson State]]<br /> * [[New_York_Secession]]<br /> * [[American Redoubt]]<br /> * [[Strategic relocation]] and [[Free States Movement]]<br /> <br /> == External Links ==<br /> [http://www.secession.net/]<br /> [http://www.secessionist.us/]<br /> <br /> == References ==<br /> * Graham, John R.

<p>Shelby: Fix Link</p> <hr /> <div>'''Jefferson State''' may refer to:<br /> <br /> * [[[http://www.soj51.net/ Jefferson (Pacific state)]]] - the proposed fifty first state of the [[United States]] ongoing local political support since 1941. The proposed state would span southern Oregon and the northernmost counties of northern California. The proposed new [[conservative]] state would be formed by separating/seceding [[Oregon]] and [[California]].<br /> <br /> * Jefferson (Southern U.S. state) - 1870, 1915 and 1921 proposed U.S. state created by dividing [[Texas]]. It would include mostly west Texas.<br /> <br /> * Jefferson (Mountain state) - 1859 proposed U.S. state from the former &quot;Jefferson Territory&quot;. This included land that was part of the [[Utah]] Territory, [[Nebraska]] Territory, [[New Mexico]] Territory, [[Washington]] Territory and [[Kansas]] Territory. In 1861, much of that proposed state became the new state of [[Colorado]].<br /> <br /> ==See Also==<br /> * [[Secession]]<br /> * [[American Redoubt]]<br /> <br /> [[Category : Disambiguation Pages]]<br /> [[Category : California]]<br /> [[Category : Oregon]]<br /> [[Category : Northern California]]<br /> [[Category : United States Political Movements]]<br /> [[Category : Political Movements]]<br /> [[Category : Strategic Relocation]]</div>

<p>Shelby: add Link</p> <hr /> <div>'''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.<br /> <br /> == History ==<br /> <br /> == United States ==<br /> <br /> === Hartford Convention ===<br /> The [[Hartford Convention]] met from December 15, 1814 to January 4, 1815 to discuss the New England states’ qualms with “[[James Madison|Mr. Madison]]'s War” (the [[War of 1812]]). The New Englanders were upset with the wars interference of trade with [[England]] and thought it an ill-thought out attempt to gain Canada. The Hartford Convention recommended 7 amendments to the Constitution and threatened secession if the demands weren't acted upon.<br /> <br /> === Texas ===<br /> In 1835, after offenses by the [[Mexican]] government, the foreign settlers in [[Texas]] (primarily Americans) decided to rebel against the Mexican Government. During the siege of [[The Alamo]] the Texans decided that it was time to declare their independence. After the [[Texas War of Independence]] Texas became a Republic and eventually joined the United States in 1845. See [[Jefferson State]].<br /> <br /> === The South ===<br /> The most famous example in US History of secession is the Southern Secession of late 1860 and 1861. After the election of [[Abraham Lincoln]] the South felt her power threatened from Northern [[Republicans]]. After their secession they formed the [[Confederate States of America]]. After 4 years of gruesome fighting in the [[American Civil War]] the South lost her independence.<br /> <br /> == Modern Examples ==<br /> <br /> === Canada ===<br /> Quebec, because of her [[France|French]] heritage, has talked of secession from Canada. The Canadian Supreme Court decided that Quebec and all other Canadian provinces have the right to secede. Alberta has also considered secession in recent years.<br /> <br /> === United States ===<br /> 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. The South has had some calls for secession from groups such as the League of the South. Other states that have secession movements are [[Alaska]], [[Hawaii]], and [[California]].<br /> <br /> === Eastern Europe ===<br /> In 2006, [[Montenegro]] peacefully seceded from [[Serbia]].<br /> <br /> ==See Also==<br /> * [[Jefferson State]]<br /> * [[American Redoubt]]<br /> * [[Strategic relocation]] and [[Free States Movement]]<br /> * [[New_York_Secession]]<br /> <br /> == External Links ==<br /> [http://www.secession.net/]<br /> [http://www.secessionist.us/]<br /> <br /> == References ==<br /> * Graham, John R.

<p>Shelby: List of the modern plans to split New York State</p> <hr /> <div>New York Secession There have many plans to break up New York State Starting about 150 years ago. Here is a list of the modern ones<br /> == 1993 to Present Staten Island secession from New York City ==<br /> '''In 1993''' Staten Island (Richmond County) got permission from the New York State Legislature for a non-binding referendum to allow it to secede from New York City which currently contains five counties. Then New York City’s-Mayor David Dinkins opposed the vote. The greater than 65 percent Staten Island voters voted yes and called for electing a seven member charter commission to draft a new Richmond County and independent city Staten Island charters; if charters were approved by the Richmond County voters Staten Island would secede from NYC. All that remains is for the New York State Legislature to ratify the vote to allow the election of the charter commission. However the bill to ratify vote has never gotten out of the New York State Legislature’s committee in recently years it has not been introduced. Since there is no time limit on ratification it can be ratified at any time. [http://www.nytimes.com/1993/11/03/nyregion/the-1993-elections-staten-island-secession-is-approved-next-move-is-albany-s.html%20 Staten Island]<br /> == 1997 to Present Peconic County secession from Suffolk County ==<br /> In 1997 the towns of East Hampton, Riverhead, Shelter Island, Southampton and Southold, and the Indian Reservation in eastern Suffolk got permission from the New York State Legislature for a non-binding referendum to allow it to secede from Suffolk County and form a new County of Peconic. Over 70 percent of the Peconic county voters voted yes and called for electing a seven member charter commission to draft a charter for the new County if charters was approved by the Peconic County voters the new county would be created. However the bill to ratify vote has never gotten out of the New York State Legislature’s committee in recently years it has not been introduced. Since there is no time limit on ratification it can be ratified at any time.

[http://www.nysun.com/new-york/secession-plan-is-floated-for-new-york-city/70397/%20 NYC 51st State]<br /> == 2010 Long Island 51st State ==<br /> In 2012 on Long Island, Suffolk County comptroller and former state assemblyman Joseph Sawicki called Long Island (Nassau &amp; Suffolk Counties) to become the 51st state [http://www.longislandstate.org/politicians.html%20 Long Island 51st State]<br /> == 2013-Present Two Autonomous Regions ==<br /> A Divide NYS Caucus Secession plan calls for Two Autonomous Regions the New Amsterdam Region (upstate) and the New York Region (downstate) alongside a token state government to comply with the US Constitution. The token NYS government that remains would have about the same power as the Queen of England! Because they are creating regions not a new state or moving counties between states; Congress can be legally bypassed. If NYS Legislature fails to act, this plan also has the option to bypass the NYS Legislature; because every twenty years the people of NYS get to vote on whether to hold a NY State Constitutional Convention. If the voters vote YES on the NYS Convention, Delegates are elected for the Convention the following November. The Convention can then submit an amendment to divide NY State into regions with token state government directly to the voters. The next time the Convention vote will be held is Nov 2017.<br /> [http://www.whec.com/article/stories/S4044901.shtml%20 Two Autonomous Regions for NYS]<br /> <br /> [http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2015/08/25/upstate-new-york-secede/32359423/ new-york-secede]<br /> <br /> [http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2014/feb/17/secession-movement-in-new-york-pushes-for-big-appl/?page=all%20 secession-movement-in-New-York] <br /> <br /> [http://legacy.wgrz.com/story/news/local/2015/08/28/upstatedownstate-divide/71294536/%20 upstatedownstate-divide]<br /> <br /> [http://www.newamsterdamny.org/%20 Divide NYS]</div>
