When does the 2nd one start?
You are referring to The War Between the States?
“This impacted families, communities, and the entire country for generations to come.”
The nation is still reeling from the disaster at Appomattox.
Last year
Yup. another war brought on by DEMOCRATS!
The War of Southern Rebellion.

D’inesh is full of shit so are his phony numbers and data.
I fear that it already started. The election in November 2020 has left millions of people disenfranchised..I am one of them.
Plus, the fbi can KMA for all I care. They are a significant part of the failures.
“On April 12, 1861, Confederate troops fired the opening shots of the Civil War at Fort Sumter in South Carolina.”
Actually, liberals need to study history and stop guessing at it with “everyone knows”. No one knows who fired the first shot.
Yes we do:
“At 4:30 a.m. on April 12, 1861, Lt. Henry S. Farley, acting upon the command of Capt. George S. James,[45][46] fired a single 10-inch mortar round from Fort Johnson. (James had offered the first shot to Roger Pryor, a noted Virginia secessionist, who declined, saying, “I could not fire the first gun of the war.”) The shell exploded over Fort Sumter as a signal to open the general bombardment from 43 guns and mortars at Fort Moultrie, Fort Johnson, the floating battery, and Cummings Point. Under orders from Beauregard, the guns fired in a counterclockwise sequence around the harbor, with 2 minutes between each shot; Beauregard wanted to conserve ammunition, which he calculated would last for only 48 hours. Edmund Ruffin, another noted Virginia secessionist, had traveled to Charleston to be present at the beginning of the war, and fired one of the first shots at Sumter after the signal round, a 64-pound shell from the Iron Battery at Cummings Point. The shelling of Fort Sumter from the batteries ringing the harbor awakened Charleston’s residents (including diarist Mary Chesnut), who rushed out into the predawn darkness to watch the shells arc over the water and burst inside the fort.[47][N 3]”

That’s another story, but unverified. Everyone seems to want to declare themselves to be correct.
The First War of Liberal Stupidity.
See, see! Trump’s racist, homophobic, pro-slavery letters written on paper owned by Twitter again!
What percentage of the slaves do you think was owned by Democrats?
The war did not begin on 12 April 1861, nor did it end on 9 April, 1865. That’s just the Yankee narrative.
