So lets game out a second civil war and it’s long term effects on our nation… Right wingers, nationalists, and fascists are already stockpiling weapons and rehearsing.

Many have said that we are now on the verge of another Civil War, with guerrilla attacks by domestic terrorists already targeting religious and minority groups. The south began the Civil War as an economic powerhouse fueled by slavery, was economically ruined for much of the century, and even today many of it’s states are still economic dependents. There was an even larger black migration north, as the black population in Ohio doubled in the 1860s and tripled in Washington, D.C. In 1870 the white population of the south was 25% less than it would have been if the war had not occurred. Even after the Union victory, the Civil War was a lost decade for the south, as besides the lives lost in the military, southerners, especially blacks, migrated away from the south resulting in a massive loss in human capital that hobbled the south for decades.

Around 750,000 combatants died in the Civil War, the mortality being the highest on the Confederate side, taking the lives of one in five southern men aged 20-24. On a holiday first created to remember the massive loss of lives in the Civil War, it’s a good time to put in perspective the enormity of those losses and the detrimental effects another civil war would have on our nation.
