They tried this shite back in 1968. The Republic of New Afrika leased some land, (640 acres) between Jackson and Vicksburg, Ms. It didn't go so well for them. They had army surplus jeeps and weapons, they trained military style on the land and it came to a head at Jackson State University during some riots. I was just a kid, but I remember some of it. How in the hell would any African Americans think they could start their own country in Mississippi or any other southern state.

The Republic of New Africa (RNA) is a black nationalist organization that was created in 1969 on the premise that an independent black republic should be created out of the southern United States of South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, and Louisiana, [...] and polygamy would be allowed.
