Damn, you Americans have some awful reasons not to include Puerto Rico... Hard to draw the map? Ugly flag? Really?!
"the South would still be one of the world's top economies."
You are saying that as if they separated now. However if they separated in the 1800s and there were trade embargos the south would have none of the businesses, technologies, or industries. Their economy would be based on farming and local manufacturing.
