Look at the states that get fewer dollars than they pay in (in other words, the states that are below the $1.00 line). Are any of them Southern states? No, unless you include Delaware.
Now try to make an argument that Southern states pay more to the federal government than they get back. I'd love to be proven wrong on that. Looking forward to your analysis.
how much of that money is federal pay and the like, and how much is actual money going to the state?
you also have to include federal welfare and the like, I wonder what the numbers would look like then?
"If you bring these leaders to trial, it will condemn the North, for by the Constitution, secession is not rebellion...His (Jeff Davis') capture was a mistake. His trial will be a greater one...we cannot convict him of treason." -Cheif Justice Salmon P. Chase
Secession in 1861 was not treason, and that is why Robert E. Lee, Jeff Davis, P.G.T. Beauregard and others died of old age.
Their Citizenship was revoked and their property confiscated, it was not until after the Civil War that the Supreme Court ruled.
Then again you don't have to believe me, go ahead a seced, I'll hold the rope

let me fix something....their property looted. fixed it.
That is so far-fetched and unlikely, I can't believe it's even being presented as a possibility. What evidence is there to suggest that those groups might "win out" or that any Western states might be annexed by Mexico?
Granted, Southern secession is highly unlikely, but I can picture it happening a lot more easily than I can see the scenarios you've described.
Have you not heard of the desire of the left to sneak some kind of amnesty bill through? What happens in California, for example,if that kind of thing happens? I see the chance that more Mexicans will flow over the border there and in not too long they will have a majority to vote with. Very weird people live there in too large numbers to keep something like this from happening.

Can't say much about the property, but they died owning something (whether it be a house or dormitory or something), and in particular Davis and Lee had their citizenship re-instated by Gerald Ford and Jimmy Carter during their presidencies.
This time the North should let them go instead of fighting a stupid war to force the South to stay.
