It just goes to show just how solid UK politics is that Scotland can be granted a referendum on leaving the union and while it was a passionate debate the thought of violence or war was never in question.
The idea of US states being given the same opportunity with the same level of friendship still being shown the party leaving is unthinkable which just seems sad.
