To imagine an independent southeast, just picture Saudi Arabia, and replace the Muslim imagery with Christian imagery, and subtract the oil wealth.
The northeast is the economic powerhouse of the nation because of their sensible economic regulations. They have all the states with the highest GDP per capita, while the south has all the ones with the lowest. An independent southeast would be a wasteland.
But the northeast is also dependent on the rest of the nation for its energy, food, and materials for what industry is left. The biggest assets they have are banking and insurance industries. Those can be built within our own country by those operating in Atlanta.
