Re: "I can see no real reason, under the Constitution, that a state cannot secede."

When I was living in the Ozarks in the '70s, I was told a story that I believe to be true. The southwesternmost county in Missouri is McDonald County, which borders both Arkansas and Oklahoma. According to the story, McDonald County seceded from the state of Missouri in the 1920s or 1930s. I believe the county sought to become part of Arkansas and, according to the story, actually printed its own money. I've tried off and on to track down this story over the years but have had little luck. Perhaps someone else on this thread has knowledge of this. The town of Neosho, Mo., just north of McDonald County, was the Confederate capital of Missouri during the Civil War.
