The Project

 

This website was built as a part of a semester long research project about secessionist and separatist movements. The class was hosted by the Council of Public Liberal Arts Colleges (COPLAC) and the research was done by students at the University of Illinois Springfield. The primary purpose of the course was to understand the underlying motivations and contingencies that lead to the breakup of communities. Any views expressed on this website were a result of careful consideration and are entirely the views of the two authors of the site.
