You can find the occasional kook, or three, who thinks their
particular state or region would be better off on its own.
Most countries have their separatists, equally, most don't
amount to much more than a few people here and there going
against the flow.

I *do* live there, here, whatever, so....  I feel entirely
safe in saying, no.  There are no significant amounts of
people, either singly or as a group, in the "south" who wish
to cede from the United States.  Any and all rumors, stories,
and whatnot of the "south" rising again are urban legends
at best and plain damn nonsense at worst.

If secession were realistically going to happen in the US,
it would take a severe breakdown in both the civilian and
military chains of command for an extended period of time.
Essentially the entire collapse of the US as it exists today.
And at that point you're far more likely to have greater
balkanization than you generally see in most divided US
scenarios.

That's my nickel anyway, YMMV.
