What if we just let Texas and the rest of the south secede into their own country?

Would we be better off?

The black people who live there would not be, nor would anybody who has to live in a climate where Southern states are free to burn as many fossil fuels as they want.

I kind of want to keep Texas. They've got more of a southwestern culture so I lump them in that category.

Alternate history about the South winning and continuing into the 20th century is pretty interesting. Imagine the Confederate air force and navy and stuff

That's really stupid. I'm one of the south's biggest critics, but there are people out there who seriously suggest this or suggest the US should go all Tecumseh Sherman on the whole south.

Here's a small list from the top of my head.

Houston has one of the largest ports in the US. Houston has some of the best hospitals in the US/world. Houston has NASA.

Texas has the largest US military base in US land/soil.
Texas has its own separate power grid from the US.

I have no idea what the other states bring/offer.

in the best case scenario it would be a hanger-on to the rest of the united states economically in the worst case scenario the economy would collapse

either way americans are so used to their way of life now that if this somehow occurred there would be an immense amount of freaking out and decrying it due to the many immediately disadvantages it would pose upon people

No we don't. We may dislike the north as much as they dislike us but we like america.

That is something about the south I always thought was a bit funny they love and sometimes celebrate the confederacy but are also the most patriotic acting people with their love of the American flag as well.

It's called cognitive dissonance.
