1861.
The US troops killed MD residents who were US citizens as MD had not seceded.
Kinda like Kent State, on steroids.
History tends to repeat itself.
CW2 is probably inevitable...and predictable.
“The rebel traitors” will be out-manned, outgunned and underfunded and it won’t drag on for four years.
It’ll be over pretty quick.
They’re already making sure of that.
That is 100% correct.
History repeats itself because people forget it's lesson.

I disagree, I suspect it will be more like Yugoslavia, a drawn-out ethnic conflict.
America is unique in a number of ways.
The First Civil War ended not it a change of Government, or capture of the capital, it ended in attrtion. Unlike most Civil Wars.
In contrast however, The Breakup of the Soviet Union was Relatively peaceful. While the Break of the U.S.A. will not be.
Again History is like Music, beats and counter beats.
The military has a bad habit of "misunderestimating" its foes, especially WRT one where they can blend into the population. And, let's be honest, in a CWII situation the "rebels" will have a LOT of the advantage in that they can blend perfectly into the general population. Any 'mistakes' (civilian casualties) that are incurred in such a scenario can and will be used as propaganda/motivation to recruit from the general populace: proof that the government has abandoned its duties and is no longer legitimate.
