Furthermore, if Louisiana is allowed to keep our natural resources, then I'm good with this.



Along with the taxable benefits the control of the Mississippi River and port of New Orleans would generate, and the dysfunctional voters that would choose to leave the state to continue to get the federal welfare benefits, there is no down side for Louisiana.

Exactly, along with control of the Gulf.

Carrollton, I think you're forgetting which direction the water is flowing! Without a water use treaty in effect, what remained of the U.S. would be free to divert waters flowing into the Mississippi and its tributaries before it even gets there. It would depend on who else seceded, of course - but its likely the Mississippi could have quite a bit less flow in it!

You'll have as much control as your mighty Louisiana navy is able to wrest from your envious neighbors.
