Better ask Robert E. Lee and George III on those last two.
Guerilla conflicts are pretty easy to sustain if they have any popular support. Watch Iraq. The opposition is just waiting for us to leave. They live there, all they need to do is wait. The Feds couldn't hold the cities if they went ballistic more than one at a time. Then there is the small problem of Rednecus Americanus, lose him and you are toast.
I doubt we're headed in that direction though,.. although the stock market did just pass 1927 for irrational exuberance...
