Actually, the NH State Constitution specifically states that NH reserves the
right to secede from the Union, and is still a legal part of the law, as it
was tested in the courts a way back when... I beleive that it (the
confirmation in court) was part of the wrangling that brought the Republic of
Indian Stream into the US as part of New Hampshire.
