Didn't a group of separatists already try this in the 1800's?

How did that turn out?

It's never worked and never will, that's the whole point of the Civil War. The military wouldn't just sit back and do nothing, and states that try to leave wouldn't have a professionally outfitted military. My opinion, if anyone really tried, a few handcuffs would end their attempts.
