Civil War
If another civil war were to break out in the United States, how would it start?
My father often said there was going to be another civil war. He was quite detailed about it as well.
Here are some pointers to consider when answering the question:
1. who would be the differing parties?
2. would ther be more than 2 official sides?
3. what would be the inital indicator that events have conspired?
4. has past news reflected similarly to events that would seem like intentionally starting clashes?
5. would it be an organized event?
Your thoughts.
It would be extremely difficult for there to be a civil war in America. In the War of Independence, we were able to arm ourselves independently from the British government. No group of citizens in the US would be able to arm itself sufficiently to fight the military forces. What would happen would be like the rebellion in Hungary with the same results. Citizens would be throwing Molotov cocktails while being run over by tanks.
It is much more likely that the government will collapse, in which case the country would split up into either four or five large sections or many more smaller ones, determined by resources and population.
As far as organization, it would have to be done so quietly that it is effectively impossible. You couldn't use phones or email or regular mail to organize. It would take small grass roots meetings with members from those meetings meeting with other members and so on. With the numbers that would be required to overthrow the government, it's doubtful that an organization that big could develop without being spotted.
