The United States has a long history of factionalism. One way this is expressed is via secessionist movements.

Click on the map or scroll through secessionist movements on the left to learn more about historical and active initiatives. Explore economic, education, public health and other indicators by selecting them on the left and see how US movements statistically stack up against countries.
