Most conservative states have much better public education systems than virtually every liberal state. In statewide assessments that rank all education liberal states that do well are the ones that have the highest rates of private education. An example. The same states with higher median incomes also have much higher costs of living. The conservative states would do well on the trade off. After separating from the liberal states the healthcare in the states that still manufacture products and produce food for the nation would do fine on healthcare. The healthcare system that resulted would definitely be much stronger. As far as having never lived in the South, that too is wrong. I also have family that married into the Deep South. Blacks would be allowed to stay, but ONLY if they kept their mouths shut and did the work they were told to do at the wage they were told to take. Same with women. Now that sounds racist, sexist and xenophobic. Have you had these feelings for a long time? Perhaps the attitudes you have expressed would prevail in liberal America, but in the core states people are expected to make their own way and reap the rewards that come from their efforts.
