You never know when you’re in a civil war. Only history will be able to say. This is the kind of behavior that will ultimately lead directly to it. They demonize their opposition to make it easier for what comes next.
Sad to see
God bless
I’ve wondered that myself.
For context, I refer you to a book entitled “Civil War on the Western Border” by Jay Monaghan published by the University of Nebraska Press.
This book dealt with the history of our country from 1854 - 1865.
Kansas was ground zero on the slavery issue and this book highlighted the very numerous incidents and vitriol which existed prior to Fort Sumpter.
Chapter 2 is entitled “It Looks Very Much Like War: 1855”
I am not suggesting nor do I know if there would be something similar but the history based on this book is sobering for reflecting what is happening today.
