答案 Why Americans Don’t Really Want to Break up? Independence movements are on the march in many Western countries, but the secessionists who have been making news in the US since last month’s election are not, realistically, going anywhere. Americans are, in fact, unusually keen to stick together. Why is this? The USA is a divided country, we’re often told, polarised in a cultural civil war between the blue and red bits on its map. Unlike almost all of their Western counterparts, however, Americans appear remarkably happy to stay together despite their differences. While the states and the federal government may have come into conflict from time to time—most notably during the civil war and the civil rights reforms of the 1960s—the constitution has helped to prevent friction between parts of the nation with different governing philosophies. While separatist parties are thriving in Canada and Europe, recent bids to take individual states out of the union have only served to demonstrate just how little appetite there for this kind of politics in the US.
