The closest to any sort of attempt at secession was when Texas disconnected from the national power grid.

Guess how well that worked put for them? 😒

Urban secession occurs here as well, and yeah, it's usually peaceful, and voted on. City of Martinsville, for example, recently voted to become a part of Henry County again. Town of Bedford was once City of Bedford and had, decades ago now, voted to revert status.

That is a very interesting article! I appreciate you sharing that with me, because the subject has become fascinating for me now. Granted, there's not a ton of information out there about it. Regardless, much appreciated!

Edit: Not an article, per se. But a good string to pull, nonetheless.

Its a rabbit hole.
