If the USA were to go Balkans, whaty would happen?

Well, here's what I think would happen.

Texas and California would be at each others throats, competing for in influence over New Mexico and Arizonia. Texas would probably try to restablish it's republic, and would most likely not enjoy joining a new CSA.

Yeah, the CSA is a no brainer. However, we must ask as to which states would form the CSA, and which would join. My guess is that South Carolina, North Carolina, Alabama, Georgia, Mississppi, Louisania, and Arkansa would be the states to form the CSA. CSA irredentism would be high, and it would claim Florida, Tennesse, Virginia and several other southern states as it's own.

Virginia would probably want to stay independent, and would most likely try to merge with West Virginia. I would guess West Virginia would either accept, or try to stay independent.

Next, we have the culsterf*** of the northeast. New England would probably become a republic, no question there. However, New York might try to expand it's influence over New England, and we could see some irredentism by New Yorkers claiming Vermont. Pennsylvania and New Jeresy? Tough to say, but both would try to stay independent, my guess. Nw Jeresy would probably want to hold onto it's slice of New York City. However, a NYC independence movement could show up. If it is successful, then we wold see the Singapore of North America.

Now we come to the Great Lakes. Boy, this one is a no brainer. Michigan and Ohio would be enemies, no question. Ohio would be trying to set itself up as the dominiate power, but none of the other states would be having that. Illinois might try to form an alliance with Ohio, but who knows? Of course, Michigan isn't as strong as Ohio, but it's does have the potential to become even stronger. It's located smack dab in the middle of the Great Lakes, and would be able to profit from all the trade that would follow. Michigan could even get one of the largest costal navies in the world. Course, those bloody Yoopers might want independence, but hey, Michigan is Michigan. We don't bloody try to oppress them or anything. Yoopers are part of Michigan's heritage.

Okay, maybe I sorta favoured Michigan here, but hey, I know very little about the other states. What do you all think?
