In the 1860s the US became divided based on race, slavery and white supremacy. France and England were actively influencing the narrative, hoping that what they couldn’t accomplish by a war could be accomplished by America destroying itself from within, after which they were posed to easily take over what remained. In the 2020s the same narrative and game plan is again attempting to divide America and just like 160 years ago the real goals and objectives are only being whispered. A growing number of states are resisting the narrative and a new civil war is brewing which may not evolve into a shooting war, but refusal to follow federal mandates and secession could happen just like it did before.
