I'm originally from the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, but I've lived in Oregon, Connecticut, and now Texas.
The U.P. kind of has their own secession attitude going, complete with their own
wikipedia entry. Although, most people just wanted to call it "UP" not Superior.
The first time secession came up after I moved down here, was interesting. Someone mentioned it in a conversation. Then another person asked my opinion on it. I didn't even think about it, and responded, and started listing all of the reasons why it would be a good thing(for Michigan).
They didn't realize I was talking about the U.P., and Michigan until quite a ways further in the conversation.
But it isn't just us natives. As our pastor, who is from Oregon, likes to say... "I wasn't born in Texas, but I got here as fast as I could."
But I love Oregon! D: Well, I love visiting it...
He likes visiting it too, but talking about Oregon's political/moral stance on things is enough to make the man look very dismayed and gloomy...
Oregon is very pretty, and there are some neat places there, as well as Washington State, politically, and morally though? Far far too liberal, and immoral for my taste.
Texas does have a basis for the majority of their attitude.
Alas, I'm in Austin, where the motto is: "Keep Austin w̶e̶i̶r̶d̶ stupid"
