In my recollections there were at least 3 other movements for secession in
the nation's history prior to the CW.
During the War of 1812 New England wanted to secede because of it's
economic ties to Great Britain.
During the Nullifications troubles under A Jackson S.C. also wanted to
secede.
When the war broke out N.Y.C wanted to secede and declare itself a neutral
city for trade purposes.
All of these secession movements were based on money.
S.C. didn't secede in the 1830s because Charlton Heston threatened to
come down there himself at the head of an army and beat them up.
Your Most Obedient Servant,
Peter
