It would be interesting to see what states the author calls Union and which he calls Confederates.

I'm not sure CWII will break down that cleanly. There are a lot of states with sizable conservative populations in the hinterlands and concentrations of brain-dead zombies -- i.e., liberals -- in the cities. Those areas might become the ugliest war zones.

If we ever have a second civil war, it would more resemble Spain's civil war of the 1930s than ours in the 1860s, which really was not so much a civil war but a failed attempt at secession. The leftists had their strongholds in 1930s Spain, in the Basque and Catalan regions and in Madrid, but there were Falangist supporters even there. Ditto for the traditionalist strongholds. Even deep blue places like New York and California have substantial numbers of conservatives, especially out of the metro areas. Ditto for the conservative states. Texas, for instance, has a large black and Hispanic population, plus liberal strongholds like Austin as well as Houston and Dallas inside the Beltway 8 and I-635 loops.

Kurt Schlichter wrote about that (split states) in his book Indian Country.
