If slavery in Tennessee is over, the country can be granted independence, no?

Ah yes, the world famous Tennesseeanianer Freedom Movement.

Maybe Texas would be a better example? There's definitely Texans who support independence. And Texas has only been part of the US for 180 years, while Tibet has been part of China for at least 300.

Although I certainly heard a fair share of "The South will rise again" and saw a lot of Confederate flags when I lived in Tennessee. Just their version of "Free Tibet," I suppose.
