First signs in potential break-up of the United States emerged two days back when Texas Governor, Rick Perry, in an anti-tax protest stated that Texas might secede from the union if state of affairs do not improve in Washington. A Russian professor, Igor Panarin,had earlier predicted the break-up of the US into six countries by 2010, due to rising debt and fall in the value of currency.
Texas is known to be an independent-minded state and Texans have always been proud of their heritage. Texas, in its history, has remained part of 6 countries (The US, the confederacy, Mexico, Spain, France and the once independent Texas itself). Texans like to honor the flags of all six States at the State House.
Governor Perry was not joking when he threatened that Texas could secede. The constitution of Texas or that of United States does not disallow Texas or any state from secession. Joining the union was voluntary and withdrawal can also be voluntary if the people of Texas choose to do so.
It is not a surprise to see such views coming from the Governor of a southern state at a time when an African American has been elected president. After all the American civil war between the north and the south took place at the issue of slavery and independence of blacks.
