Everyone in this country associates secession with the South (for some obvious reasons), but that's not the whole story . . .

New England Secession Tradition part one

New England Secession Tradition part two

The promised Part three does not appear in the index for the Fall 2007 Issue of the magazine (Vermont Commons Journal) [Scroll down for contents of earlier issues]

Apparently, as with other secessionists, "they" got him before he could finish it.

Part 1 does point out that Vermont, like Texas, existed as a "sovereign state" prior to joining the US, and didn't "secede" from the British Empire until about a year after the other states.

(Some people accuse Vermonters of "being a little slow" but I think the accusation indictes a lack of understanding of their cultural cohesiveness.)
