Will Vermont Secede from the Union?
Vermonters will decide at their Convention on Independence, which will be held in the House Chamber of the State House in Montpelier on Friday, October 28th, 2005. This will be the first statewide convention on secession in the US since North Carolina voted to secede from the Union on May 20, 1861, starting the Civil War.

The keynote speaker at the convention will be James Kunstler, author of “The Long Emergency,” who was a recent guest on Dreamland.
