Quickwrite 1 (Realism Unit)

I believe that there are many things that would make a state want to separate itself from the government. One of the big issues right now is the economy. Many states believe that if they were to secede from the Union, their economy could be better and it would make the lives of that state’s people a lot easier. Times are rough, and many states are struggling to keep within the budget that they have. They are borrowing more and more money from the government and getting more and more in debt. I reasonable question to ask here would be where exactly would they plan on getting their money form if they were to secede from the Union? Would it, in fact, make things worse than they already are? I think to secede from the Union would be a mistake. It would make it much harder on the people and the Nation as a whole. It would make the Civil War be for nothing; all that loss and bloodshed with nothing to show for it.
