Abraham Lincoln suspended many rights, suppressed the freedom of press, and called upon federal volunteers to fight a war against fellow citizens.

Young men responded in droves to fight for the Federal Government then. Is there the same fidelity to the federal government today?

Do not overlook the Copperhead movement.

“During the stalemated “Phoney War” (October 1939 to spring 1940), public opinion in the US was strongly opposed to entering the war. A poll in March 1940 found that 96 percent of Americans were against going to war with Germany.”

Harry Turtledove has some “revised history” novels where the South won the war. They are usually series’ of books. In one series, World War I has a US front. North sides with Germany and South sides with France and England.

It’s not pretty.

Thank God North America is not broken up into small countries like Europe. Then again, I now see the US as 50 separate “mostly sovereign” countries, just like the EU. I avoid several of them due to their draconian laws regarding gun ownership and use.

Absolutely! There are many leftists who are ready, willing , and able to do violence against you. They permeate all facets of public and private entities, especially the Federal government.
