Division can create hatred that lives for generations... [View all]
That was what happened during and after the Civil War. Four or five generations after the Civil War, the hatred had been passed down to their children and grandchildren, even their great grandchildren.
It was manifested in the Jim Crow laws and the Ku Klux Klan. In many places, part of it is still alive today.
The war that pitted brother against brother and killed more than 600,000 men of this nation. When it ended, there was no kissing and making up. The hatred boiled over.
Now, we have a demagogue in power that is attempting to incite another civil war, with his hatred and talk of division. It must be stopped.
We need only to look at how it simmered and lingered for one hundred years after the last civil war.
Let us look soberly at the road ahead.
