Does the USA have any historical precedent for internal borders? With COVID-19 i think it's getting increasingly more likely, especially if the situation in states/policies diverge. But I don't know if this would be a first here.

Yeah i was thinking about that too. But that's a bit different IMO because it was more about some states not being part of the Union, not having borders within the Union?

Thanks, very informative. So basically and unsurprisingly it was somewhat more common pre New Deal.

There’s a movie Bushwick with the premise that Texas secedes and invades NY, it’s not great but fun
