No, not because I say so but because I have been hearing this bullshit for that last 20 years and guess what...no Civil War II.
And I know what you are going to say before you even say it. You were going to tell me that things weren't that bad before. Right? See I knew it before you even did.
Wrong. What I was going to say is, “Pussy! You just stick that itty-bitty head of yours in the sand and keep thinking you’ve got it all figured out, we’ll handle this.”
Calhoun was talking secession in the 1830s. Even then, the formation of the Confederacy and the bills of secession were not something which just popped up overnight, it had been brewing for decades before it happened.
Similarly, the grumblings of colonists against the King of England went on for a while before things came to a head.
In both cases, the powder keg had been charged for decades before the spark ignited war.
Don't let your normalcy bias blind you to history. Human nature does not change that much.
