The Secession Movement refers to the efforts by certain regions or groups to withdraw from a larger political entity, often a nation or state, to form an independent government. This movement has occurred in various parts of the world throughout history, with notable examples including the American Civil War, where the southern states attempted to secede from the United States. Secession can arise from political, economic, or cultural grievances, leading to tensions between the seceding group and the central government. The movement often raises questions about national unity, self-determination, and the legality of breaking away from established political structures.
