Do you think secession movements will ever gain serious ground again?

No - although eventually the U.S. may crumble into smaller nations (or complete anarchy), but it won't be an active seccesion movement.

There already are active secession movements...

Not serious ones that have a chance at succeeding though.

How do you know?

Because if they were legitimate enough to be successful, I would know about them.  A seccession movement that's not known by a large percentage of the population is doomed to fail.

The AIP wasn't a notable secession movement - it never stood any chance of actually going anywhere.

Aside from Rick Perry shooting his stupid mouth off last year, I think the only notable secession movements have been in Alaska and Vermont.  In the former's case, the AIP nosedived after Walter Hickel's term, and now they can't break 1% of the vote in gubernatorial elections.  In the latter case, the hubbub (if you can even call it that) died down immediately after Bush left office, and the guy they gave two thirds of the vote to took over.

Uh, both of those secession movements are still very much alive and active.

Active doesn't mean they're gaining SERIOUS ground.
