New England secedes sometime between 1803 and 1815 and the rest of the US is unable or unwilling to go to war to stop it.
Could that trigger a Civil War later that same century, only with the Northern states seceding/rebelling from the Southern states dominated US? Or would it take more time than that for the resentment of being dominated by the Southern states to build up, taking so long that there isn't a rebellion before slavery is eventually abolished and the situation gradually defuses?
And...what would the seceding Mid-Atlantic, Midwest, and free-soilers out West call their new nation, the third American nation? (oh, and more importantly, could/would the Northern states win their independence?)
