Tennessee · Self-Determination
On a fair ballot, a majority of Tennessee votes to leave the union.
There is no organized movement for Tennessee independence here yet. That is exactly what we are here to change.
Tennesseeadults in Tennessee would back independence when the question is asked the way a ballot asks it: calm, binary, and peaceful. That's about 51% of the state.
Even the understated abstract poll counts 1.1 million (21%). How we get this number →

More than the whole of Denmark. A nation-sized population, governed from elsewhere.

The other 524 are chosen by people who don't live here.
The only question that matters
Tennessee is already a nation in all but name.
If Tennessee were already a self-governing nation, with its own border, its own money, its own defense, everything two hundred other nations control, and the vote in front of you was not whether to leave, but whether to join the United States on the terms it offers today, would you vote yes?
Cast your vote
Tennessee has never been shy about governing itself. The state that sent Sam Houston to Texas and gave the country three presidents has a long memory for what it means to run its own affairs. Put the question of independence on a fair ballot, worded the way a real vote is put, calm and binary and peaceful, and about 51 percent of Tennessee would vote to leave the union. That is roughly 2.7 million adults.
That majority is the real number, and here is why. An abstract poll asks a stranger to react to a loaded word with no stakes attached. A ballot asks a settled yes-or-no question you answer in private, and support for independence runs about 30 points higher once the question is put that plain. Even the abstract YouGov poll, the understated floor, already puts Tennessee at 21 percent, about 1.1 million adults. Carry that 30 points and Tennessee sits at a majority. Tennessee leaned Republican in 2020, but wanting to decide your own future is not a red position or a blue one. It is a Tennessee one.
What is missing here is not the numbers and not the will. What is missing is each other. USexit is the largest independence movement in the country, and we bring the playbook and the connections that turn scattered support into an organized effort. We do not run your group. We do not take your money. You decide what Tennessee's movement looks like, and we help you build it.
