Political groups from New England and the South are joining forces to discuss how to go about legally seceding from the United States. The Middlebury Institute, based in Cold Spring, N.Y is meeting with The League of the South in a two day convention targeting how to peacefully, and legally, secede from the union. The convention begins October 3rd in Chattanooga, TN.

These two groups share very little in political opinions but both believe they should be able to secede from the United States. In fact, the Southern Poverty Law Center considers the League of the South to be a racist, white supremacist organization.

Thomas Naylor, a former Duke University Professor and the founder of a group named the Second Vermont Republic, believes that the future of the United States is "grim." He states that more than 25 states currently have organizations in favor of secession. And, he believes the numbers are growing for these groups. The Second Vermont Republic is in favor of secession.
