Millard Fillmore's Bathtub 
One of my brothers graduated from the Air Force Academy in 1966 — so it would have been 1963 or 1964, the group was touring Air Force Bases and the space complexes in Alabama and Florida. Part of the tour was a stop at a public beach in Alabama. The local town was happy to host a complete class of AFA cadets, but when they started getting off the buses, the local mayor and gendarmerie informed the office in command that the black cadets would not be allowed on the beach. This was before the Civil Right Act of 1964.
Cadets were ordered back on the buses. The local newspaper complained that the Air Force had snubbed their city. Among other things, the hot dog and drink vendors had stocked up in anticipation, and they’d suffered a loss . . .
Sometimes these bigots only understand things that hit their wallets immediately and clearly. Bigotry costs them a lot of money, but they don’t see it until someone hits them fast and hard.

You do make it an appealing idea.

IIRC, one of Aaron Burr’s objections to the Louisiana Purchase was that if Congress has the right to acquire to territory, then it also has the right to sell it. I would not object to giving Florida to Cuba, for a few picks in the MLB draft.
Just imagine the outrage if the executive branch decided to stop sending Medicare payments to FL. Or the completely lawful order from the Commander in Chief to cease all military personnel transfers into FL. We need to think outside the box to solve these problems.
