American Second Civil War

War is ugly no matter what form it takes. Thekilling of other people is sickening at best. Notwithstanding; a house divided by itselfwill not stand, a phrase coined by the president of the firstAmerican Civil War. This war was different in that therewere no clear battle lines; the fighting was from houseto house, neighbor against neighbor, as each of the twomajor political groups; namely the People s Party and thePatrician, and were no longer able to compromise in anyform or on any issue. When the Patrician gained controlof the press and law enforcement, the People s partywas forced to resort to violence and thus attempted toeliminate any element that was Patrician. This resulted inthe degree of bloodshed much greater than their previousCivil War as the People s Party President demanded thatanything that represented the Patrician to be executed. These bodies would be burned and not buried. Theremaining population of just over 100 million was leftwith the task of rebuilding this nation now peacefullysplit into two parts both securing their borders.
