New Confederate States of America:First Step after Secession

What every seceding state should do is form a strong national defense, because the empire they seceded from is likely to use force to prevent secession. A great way to prepare for security is for ANY law abiding citizen to own firearms. Switzerland's citizens own firearms & yet they have been one of the safest nations on Earth both from domestic & foreign enemies. It's best not to get involved with entangling alliences so as to not jeopardize the security of the country. It will take the consitutional conventions of three states to successfully ratify the new Confederate States constitution. Before that can be done, the provisional government of the Confederacy shall assume all responsibilities & debts created under it's establishment. In no way shall the new Confederate States of America assume any reaponsiblities & debts under the United States of America & Canada.
The next thing that should occur is a new currency. The U.S. dollar has been a fiat currency since 1970 & will continue to lose it's value, having already lost over 95% of it's value since 1913, when the Federal Reserve bank was created. The new currency must be based under the gold & silver standards.
The Soviet Union didn't dissolve overnight & certainly couldn't be overthorwn by force of arms. The United States is not any different from the Soviet Union in that matter.
