(WHNT) - Recently a slew of petitions popped up on a government-run website asking for individual states to secede from the US.
The petitions range from hundreds to thousands of signatures.

Athens State University History Professor Dr. Sean Busick explains, "Certainly right now the talk of secession truly isn't feasible. At least, I perceive it to be a protest."
