Well first let me say that I would not consider it treason to vote for secession if the POTUS and Congress passed a bill to allow a vote to take place (i.e. Scotland and the UK).
Second there are many aspects to consider like how would the military break up be handled? I don't think the USA would get to keep everything and the CSA (for lack of a better name) would get nothing. The citizens in the new CSA would have paid taxes and served in the military too so they would have a claim to it. The you get into the huge as national debt would that be split? The list goes on.
3. I think that a modern CSA plus most of the red states that would break away and join would be much better of economically the remaining USA consisting of the left coast and northeast and sporadic blue states. That would probably also breakup into seperate countries.
4th. I would vote no because we are stronger together than apart.

I'd rather see a breakup by counties. The north would get to keep all their big cities: NY, Chi, Det, etc... North would get SF and LA, South the rest of Cali

Big cities in the south could have some of their populations relocated to the north
