A second civil war in the US has the potential to make the losses of the original civil war of the 1800s pale by comparison.

Yes.
But then wars of any kind cannot be ruled out for any country or countries.
Europe thought they'd ended wars in Europe in 1945 after WWII.
WRONG!
We had the war in Yugoslavia etc and now the war in Ukraine.
Looking back at history, humans just never really change no matter how technologically advanced we get.
Example A : Joe Biden.
Has there ever been a more hate filled creep in the White House like Dementia Joe? Nope. Anything can happen under a guy like that.

You are absolutely right. And, I realize intellectually that it may very well come to that. I have to believe that we, as Americans, cannot and will not allow the tyrannical elements in our government, the media, and corporations to become our masters. I believe in my heart that true Americans will never live on their knees.

However, until it does happen that war becomes the only solution, I will continue to hope and pray that my family, my neighbors, and the innocent among my countrymen never have to experience that.
