    The areas of the secessionist movements were approximated using pictures and descriptions found in Michael Trinklein’s Lost States as well as Wikipedia. The indicator values for each secessionist movement were calculated by aggregating values of the subset of US counties contained within the movement’s land area.

More information and the sources for each movement and indicator can be found linked in their descriptions.
