    But they didn’t just go to war to stop it, they burned the south to the ground.

    Do that to CA and you’re shooting yourself in the foot as the US

    Destroying your most important ports and where more than 50% of your agriculture nationwide comes from is not a good idea

      Which is exactly why they would burn it to the ground. The federal government would never let California, let alone any state, secede peacfully. They can’t risk losing those resources and would destroy them before allowing them to be competition.
