Add in 50,000 armed men who haven't been paid. Wouldn't want to be their leader.
Add in that, since he'll still be using green backs that will be instantly limited to the supply on hand...interest rates will be through the roof and the ability to get a loan will be equivalent to the new republic's chances...zero.
we have all left out one very key point in all of this. International effects. If the rebellion were to show itself to be capable of winning a few battles, enemies of the US would be probably be more than willing to donate arms to the rebels to overthrow the US government. Russia, Iran, North Korea, etc.
Nothing says patriotism than saying you'll accept weaponry and support from places like Russia, Iran, North Korea.
They would probably be willing, but that doesn't mean I would accept weapons. If from anybody, than Russia. But you miss my point, what effect would this have on the world stage? The US suddenly in a large Civil War.
