Two cultural halves of America getting closer to the line of warfare.

If someone suggested a person pray for their enemy I believe they would bristle, tense up and not do it.

I have a feeling the 1860s Americans weren’t this far apart; just didn’t agree on new territories and future states having slavery continue legally and so on.

I doubt they contended every point like people today. Just “at each other’s throats” as someone described the mask battles of common people in stores lately.

Northerners were certainly not boycotting Southern cotton and tobacco.

The civil war in the 1860s should have been fought with pulpits and Bibles and prayers. The division lost states rights. England defeated slavery without losing half her youth. This civil war needs to be fought with prayers,Scriptures and repentance. First to fight for right and freedom. That’s hard when perverted administrations redefine right and deny freedom. John 8.32 freedom.

“Two cultural halves of America getting closer to the line of warfare.”

What I don’t get is since each side can’t stand and doesn’t want to live with other why isn’t there a stronger push by both side for an amicable divorce?

Let’s start the negotiations.
