A recent bill proposed in Indiana to redraw the state’s border has reignited a movement in Illinois to create a new, 51st state. The bill, which aims to move the border between the two states, has sparked discussions and debates among residents and lawmakers in Illinois.
The movement to create a new state out of southern Illinois has been gaining momentum in recent years, with advocates citing political and cultural differences between the northern and southern regions of the state. Supporters argue that splitting the state would allow for better representation and governance for the southern counties.
Proponents of the idea believe that creating a new state would address issues such as government corruption, high taxes, and lack of infrastructure funding that they feel have been neglected in southern Illinois. However, critics argue that the movement is fueled by partisan politics and would ultimately lead to a more divided nation.
As discussions continue, it remains to be seen whether the movement to create a 51st state out of southern Illinois will gain enough support to become a reality.
