What if the United States split into two countries?

[allegro]

All the Red States would depend on Texas, then they’d all go bankrupt almost immediately.

United States of Canada? Nah. Canada is still a federal parliamentary constitutional monarchy under Elizabeth II.

How about the United States of America for blue states.

The red states can go back to being the Confederate States of America.

Lincoln got it all wrong: He should have let the CSA go. The cotton gin would have killed their economy, anyway. Sanctions was a better idea. The red states have been the albatross of the blue states ever since.

(Edit: No offense to people here in red states.)
