The scenario;

The federal government passes laws that interfere with the sovereignty of States rights to govern their own people as a result several states feel the federal government has over stepped it boundaries too many times and secede from the Union.

In this process the federal government deems each state must accept any laws it passes down rather it is acceptable to the people of the state or not. It also decrees that no State has the right to secede from the union

In making this decision the federal government uses military action to regain control of all states and people that decide to take up secession

The question;

You live in a State that has seceded from the Union, Would you feel your loyalty was with the Federal Government and the primary responsibility was was to preserve the Union, or would you take the side of the State that.
Depends on the reason for secession, but I would not likely want to fight my neighbors.
