Well, first we were a colony of England who did not have full rights in English governance. England also provided no provisions for seccession. That plus the two land masses being a months sailing trip away make the situation very different.
The South had a full voice in American Government. Even were able to inflate their influence through the 3/5ths rule. There was means for seccession and they ignored them and they are geographically attached to the nation that they were trying to devolve from.
