I see you are a frequent poster on the Free State Project forum.

What are you trying to accomplish? The Balkanisation of America? What great wrongs have you suffered in present day America that you think will be righted by tearing the country apart?
I hold that the government has become destructive to the unalienable rights of all, rather than securing them; it does this by claiming that such rights are arbitrarily subject and secondary to state-interests, which literally means that they are not unalienable rights at all endowed by a higher power, but merely revocable priveleges endowed us by the state itself. The fact that you, I or anyone can be conscripted at the behest of government to unlimited submission and expendibility to arbitrary government whims without recourse, is sheer proof of that-- i.e. we are not free men, but expendible assets of the state.
Other various wrongs follow in this example-- our right to trade, bank, earn, commerce freely and even live unmolested by government, absent any interest to the security of individual rights, are all heavily infringed, compromised, taxed and regulated; hence we are not free men but chattel.
Hence, it is no surprise that our knowledge of the state's doings is likewise heavily compromised, leading to the frequent use of individuals as expendible assets-- i.e. slave-labor and cannonfodder in thinly-veiled imperialist wars-- which are self-perpetuating in nature: US involvement in WWI was not only corruptly motivated, but also gave other dictators such as Hitler, Stalin and Mao etc. their promotions from lowly upstarts to world dictators-- in addition to giving freedom and capitalism a bad name-- by masquerading as both, but being neither-- thereby contributing to their propaganda.
As for "America," you'll have to define what you mean; however I seek only the liberation of truth- and if that results in the dissolution of that which is built on lies and falsehoods, so be it: no good ever comes from deception and ignorance.
To be specific, I seek the liberation of truth regarding the Constitution, i.e. that it is not a national document-- and hence the United States proper, is not a nation-- but individual nations, which are under illegal occupation under a false claim of national authority-- and threat of force based on such authority.
As for "tearing the country apart:" one cannot destroy that which does not exist; it's like claiming that one "stole" from a thief, by simply taking back one's own from such. Poppycock; there IS no country, or "one indivisible nation:" only individual states, subject only to their own sovereign rule.
To quote Madison from Federalist 39, in selling the Constitution to the people of New York-- and the remaining states:
Each State, in ratifying the Constitution, is considered as a sovereign body, independent of all others, and only to be bound by its own voluntary act. In this relation, then, the new Constitution will, if established, be a federal, and not a national constitution.
This could not be more clear.
Anyone who believes me to be in error, may present arguments to the contrary. But I will not apologize for bursting bubbles-- bubble-heads have no right to foist their delusions on others.
