The American Secessionist Streak

?According to a Zogby poll conducted in July, more than 20% of U.S. adults -- one in five, about the same number of American Colonists who supported revolt against England in 1775 -- agreed that ?any state or region has the right to peaceably secede from the United States and become an independent republic?.? I believe the figure for the Revolution is low, but this is interesting anyway.
