Origins of the New England Secession Tradition

The Vermont independence effort is guided by a peaceful group of thoughtful citizens who believe that Vermont would be better off as a small independent country like Iceland, Lichtenstein, Monaco, Luxembourg, or Switzerland than to remain under the domination of an overly centralized and increasingly out-of-control central federal government.

Did not the Civil War settle forever the question of whether a state within the United States can secede? It did not.
