Anti-Secession Petition Started on White House Website
This was tried before guys
The US has tried secession in the past, and every American knows how that worked out - a half million Americans lost their lives. Such history must never repeat itself, especially in as great a country as the United States, wherein a strong federal system has always protected its citizens' standard of living and secured their rights and liberties in accordance with the original ideas and beliefs of our founding fathers.

Yes, some states seceded, and then a bunch of people randomly died. The U.S. and confederate governments had nothing to do with it.
