Before he detracted it, the popular governor of Texas spoke in favor of succession. True, slavery was abolished very long ago but other civil rights issues remain and certainly played a big role in 20th century politics as they do now. I agree with you in that succession is not a viable political tool so far, but resistance to federal intrusion in these matters smells like the same old stuff.
Anyway, I think issues of state's rights and federal rights in the USA are very old and quite fractious. In that way issues Spain faces should not sound too foreign to US natives.
