I still have a few conservative friends that roll their eyes when I mention the prospect of civil war. I wonder if anyone was rolling their eyes in 1860.

A lot of people in 1860 thought a civil war was inevitable.

"I wonder if anyone was rolling their eyes in 1860." The general attitude among Northern Republicans in 1860 was: we've heard Southerners crying wolf ("secession") for many years.
Time to call their bluff.
