I don't think any state will secede from the union...
They like the govt. subsidies to much.

Yeah not sure about a civil war as the OP states, and any states actually trying to secede.
It's not realistic at all. No Fema assistance,especially Florida, no farms subsidies for those plains states, no social security and medicare, no longer any military bases, so no income to those businesses surrounding them. That's just the tip of funding that individuals receive. Not including federal grants for emergency services, bridges, for city and state services.

I stated the civil war reference in the op and the other members post about any states trying to secede.
Although arguably can't imagine states engaged in a civil war against other states or the government wanting to stay under federal jurisdictions.
Maybe the OP can clarify what a civil war will entail.
Outbreak of the Civil War (1861)
Even as Lincoln took office in March 1861, Confederate forces threatened the federal-held Fort Sumter in Charleston, South Carolina. On April 12, after Lincoln ordered a fleet to resupply Sumter, Confederate artillery fired the first shots of the Civil War.
