Greetings reader
Never underestimate those cleaver citizens in Illinois in the late 1960s and early 1970s.
"Frustration among the citizens and officials of western Illinois was mounting behind a lack of support for transportation and infrastructure projects in the area." [1]
"According to a 2010 interview with the McDonough County Voice, Gamm recalled “The idea is that we would secede from the Union, immediately declare war, surrender, then apply for foreign aid." [1]

Now that is a very clever way to get federal funding! Forgottonia a place, an idea, that should be remembered.
May this amusing story (it is true) bring a smile to your day.

This was their exact plan.
The problem was, they won the war.
