Summary
The UK looks like it is all but out of the EU. The Brexit is almost complete. This got Alan Wakim, of The Sons of History, thinking. What if there was an American version of Brexit in which states got out of the Union? Of course, we are all familiar with the secession movement of the 1860s, and the end result of the Civil War. But there continues to be whispers of seceding from the Union from states like Texas, California, and Vermont. The Sons of History discuss the pros and cons of leaving the Union and why the Founding Fathers saw the preservation of the Union as the most important aspect of the country. Dustin Bass and Alan Wakim also provide their book recommendations.
