America Was Less Divided During the Civil War Than It Is Today

An independent CA would be an instant member of NATO. They are not going to be client state of China. LOL.

Almost as laughable as his idea that we wouldn’t respond to a Chinese fishing boat EMP threat by simply stating that we’d retaliate with a full nuclear strike.

Except like never before this one is purely ideology driven. Some people try to make it state vs state but it really isn’t. Houston city is as liberal as Seattle, as far as I understand.

It is more regions (rural, sometimes suburban)vs urban, but even less than that now.

Now it is much more about ideology. Which is one gets into verbal fights with relatives on facebook, some of which are in conservative cities, but they are firm liberals.

In general but some of the original BLM founders, like the black gay guy that used to visit the obama WH so often, were marxists. There are other blacks who are convinced that marxism/communism will help them. Antifa however is pretty much all young white people trained and financed by older white people.

Bottom line is, it’s Constitutional Republic VS Socialism/Marxism/Communism and antifa, wants global communism, one world government and a border-less planet.

A civil war is by definition a war between citizens of the same country, and the American Civil War was certainly that.

No, it actually wasn't. A civil war is two (or more) factions of the citizenry fighting for control of the same government. Robert's definition calls the Revolutionary War a civil war as well. These US's fight was an invasion of seceding States by the union government. Without a fight, all the South had to do was leave. Which they did, until the North had to force them back. Without that, it would have been a peaceful process.

By the way, Congress has passed legislation officially calling the conflict the 'War Between the States'.
