The U.S. has pretty much been seperatist ever since we kicked everyone out and formed our own country. Canada, other than the War of 1812, has remained our ally and is no real threat. Mexico, since the Spanish-American War, has remained our ally and is no real threat. In short, we have been able to pretty much avoid world affairs unless it affected out own self-interest. We more or less had to be dragged into World Wars I and II. Why did remain seperatist? Because we could. With modern communication and transportation making it a smaller world combined with the threat of terrorism, I don't that we can afford to have this mindset anymore.
