This is a list of historical
separatist movements in North America.
Separatism includes
autonomism and
secessionism.
What is and is not considered an
autonomist or secessionist movement is sometimes contentious. Entries on this list must meet three criteria:
- They are no longer an active movement with active members.
- They are demanded greater autonomy or
self-determination for a geographic region (as opposed to
personal autonomy).
- They were citizens/people of the conflict area and did not come from another country.
Under each region listed is one or more of the following:
- De facto state (de facto entity): for
unrecognized regions with de facto autonomy.
- Proposed state: proposed name for a seceding sovereign state.
- Proposed autonomous area: for movements towards greater
autonomy for an area but not outright secession.
