    More likely result is that the US splits into 3 regions of

    • East of the Appalachians
    • West of the 100th parallel
    • Everything in the middle

    Most migration now is North-South, not East-West. People usually stay in their "third" (i.e. Northeast to North Carolina or Georgia or Florida, Midwest to Texas, California to Western states). The old regions aren't really relevant. Memphis has closer ties to Chicago than Charlotte, for instance. Raleigh and Atlanta are heavily tied to the Northeast and to a lesser extent Detroit and OH/western PA.

    If the US splits, it will look more like the thirds above, not South vs Midwest vs West or whatever.

      More likely result is that the US

      Organizes the various factions into death squads that just run around killing each other for a few years before consolidating power a little further.
