What if the United States split into 2 countries would it really be that big of a deal?

In the North they like to burn down their own cities and in the South we like to work hard and party hard come vacation in Florida anytime you like or come to Texas for the best barbecue in the world 🤠

Sadly for the Southern States, the facts speak for themselves from a purely financial perspective. The States with highest Net Worth per household and highest median income are mostly in the North and it is much the same for Taxation revenues. If the North and the South were to split, the South would become much like a third world country. This taken from the Census statistics.

@spjennifer That's a total speculative fallacy--- 55K year in West Virginia brings a higher standard of living than 85K in NY. And I doubt the color-coded map is totally accurate. If not for the northern part of Virginia being Government D.C based residence and the large DoD presence in the Tidewater area, Virginia would likely be among the poorest states in the country. I see no way West Virginia's median income
is greater to neighboring states like Ohio, Kentucky, Tennesee, or equal to North and South Carolina. The faster-growing states now are all southern, in region.

Yes, I'm quite certain that the Census Bureau is biased against the South but of course you know better than they do I'm sure. What are you basing your statistics on, speculative lunacy? One of the reasons I posted the link as the one slide doesn't tell the whole story but the rest of it from the link sure does...
