What about agriculture?
What about it? Do you think there won't be trade? Do you think the people of Florida would want to sit on fifty billion oranges and not want to trade or sell them?
What about the interstate system?
Each country has its own. How about the Canadian road works. What's the problem--Each country takes care of their own roads. The liberal country would use union labor--the conservative country would use road gangs
What about national banks?
What about them? What problem do you see? Each bank decides which country's law they would like to fall under, and they make a choice. If a country needs more banks, more banks will come into existence to fill the void.
What about interstate commerce?
What about it? Same as with Canada---same as now except there may be tariffs, but trade would continue as it always has. We even trade with Canada and Mexico--does that surprise you? Is that news?
What about the Constitution or the Bill of Rights. Who would claim ownership?
Why does only one country get them? Why can't both countries use the same Constitution, and the same bill of rights? Liberals and conservatives have very different views as to what those documents contain. That's why there are so many 5-4 splits on the USSC.
What about pitting father against son should a war break out between your "two countries?"
War is inevitable if we don't split. I guarantee it within 100 years. But to answer your question, the same thing will happen as happened last time--each family member fights for what they believe in.
It's a bad idea all around, BOB.
That's what the Tories said before the American revolution. You realize England and the United States used to be one country don't you? The split wasn't unanimous then either, and not all the citizens considered themselves American even after the war was won.
For reasons way too numerous and complex for your overly simplistic solution.
Your personal attack is noted as is your failure to put forth a coherent argument. The questions you asked were answered in the 1860's. The South wasn't too concerned with banking, roads, interstate commerce, the military, and such things were just as vital to survival then as they are now.
