Texas and Southern state secession from the US union was ended by Abraham Lincoln killing 620,000 of his own people. Texans and US Southerners are watching with great interest as the UK referendum on Scotland's secession from the UK approaches. There is much debate about economic, political and patriotic ramifications as the event progresses in highly civilized fashion.
Texans and Southerners would greatly appreciate comments and enlightenment from the many UK and Scotland insiders on this forum. Our education system is pretty much isolationist, so please excuse the occasional glaring ignorance in our comments.
