Stephen Coontz, Liberty's Last Stand describes it perfectly. It is driving liberals crazy to the extent they have organized an army of seminar reviewers to pan it with one star ratings on Amazon. How good is it? The main clue is it revolves around a "fictional" character named Barry Soetoro.

Our Independence Day; our Second American Revolution

The Second American Revolution occurred in 1860-1861, and was ruthlessly put down by wealthy New England Robber Barons who regarded an Independent South as a threat to their financial interests.

It was about Trade with Europe. If the South permitted low tariff Trade, it would wreck much of New England's economy.

This map is a proxy for the amount of trade that would have been severely reduced coming into New England. Notice all that coinage which New York is taking in as a representation of the European Trade? Well it may surprise you to learn that the South produced the vast bulk of the export value, for which those coins represent the returning European trade.

The South threatened that money pile, and so the Power Brokers convinced Lincoln to go to war to stop the threat to their European money streams.

The "slavery" stuff was just propaganda. They had no intention of stopping slavery for the first year and a half of the war. They were making too much money off of it.

"..That ended when George Washington stepped forward then and Donald Trump stepped forward last June.."

Just.... No! Hell no.

Trump is no George Washington. I have not seen much of anything to compare with our founding fathers. Don't even go there.
