If for some reason America was to have another civil war, who would be fighting each other?

Good vs. Evil.. it's already taking place.... Republicans vs. dems.. can't you see that it has already started..  I may die in battle, but I will vote Republican until I die unless some drastic change should come to the democratic party.

Instead of trying to decide who is more morally just in this situation, it would be best to try and come up with a way to end it peacefully.  If one side "wins", then it will only cause further conflict.

most civil wars start from minority groups, religious plurality, and ideological divisions.

They wanted each state to be a separate country like Europe is.\nThey felt that the North didn't understand the problems associated with the south.\nHad it happened we would have later seen a war between Oklahoma and Arkansas or Texas and South Carolina.\nBy having a federal government we have someone to settle issues for us that otherwise would end in war.\nIran and Iraq and Syria and Lebanon and Israel are smaller than are smaller states.  It is the same as if Road Island went to war with new york city.

That is when the civil war will start.

As of 3/16/06 one can only guess,but I think it will never happen , number one. those people over there have been fighting with each other for years and have no idea how to get along with each other. Number 2. Things over there is not getting any better and civil war is knocking at the back door.Our young men and women are fighting a lost battle ,if by the Grace of God we do get out of there within the next 10 years they we be right back where they were when we invaded. And as far as the Administration, I think we should send a few of them over there or perhaps their family members.And to the young writers who thing the war is over...perhaps you would like to talk to some of the honest hard working young men and women over there...I know because I have a nephew ,brother and friends over there fighting everyday. Along with that, I have a son who got back last year from being blowed up, so why didn't anyone tell him the war was over!!!! Wake up people, if you think it's over I heard that the military is in need of men and women to pick daisy in Iraq.

The Civil War was caused by a disagreement over state's rights. \n\nThe southern states thought that all states should decide taxation, slavery, and other things in the state. The northern states thought that all decisions should be made by the national government. \n\nThe south decided to leave the union, feeling that the centralized government was being given too much power against what the founding fathers had intended. The north decided that they could not secede and break up the union. \n\nThey fought a war, and due to many reasons (the north being more industrialized and richer is just one), the south lost the war.\n\nYes, economics affected the civil war because the north had more resources to call on to support the war effort and more connections with Europe to get support and help blockading the southern ports from them as well.

hundreds...without the US presence, the country would descend into a 3-way civil war

North, because they won the civil war, everybody loves a winner.  But then I think of their war of aggression against the south and want to live with them because you have to root for the underdog.  And besides, the South WILL rise again!  I am all ready for the victory dance.

We would be better off, they would be worse off... Basically civil war for them, less caos for us.

The origins of the American Civil War lay in the complex issues of slavery, politics, disagreements over the scope of States' rights, Manifest Destiny, sectionalism, economic competition, modernization, and competing nationalisms of the Antebellum period. Although there is little disagreement among historians on the details of the events that led to war, there is disagreement on exactly what caused what and the relative importance. There is no consensus on whether the war could have been avoided, or if it should have been avoided.

I think I understand your question.  To engage in a civil war, it would take the participation of an enemy to the "conservatives" (e.g., the "liberals").  Fundamentalist right-wing ed conservative radicals are paid no more attention by educated liberals than the grasshoppers jumping from weed to weed in the sunny summertime, so the civil war isn't likely to transpire.

That is an interesting question....\n\nThe obvious civil war between the communist North and the democratic South. The not so obvious civil war was probably between the Catholics and the Buddhist in South Vietnam. Howver, I think that can be described more as bloody protesting rather than a war.

true..... but if there were 3 separate nations, then they would just be three separate nations always at war instead of three separate sects at civil war.

The Confederacy (Virgina) bordered DC across the Potomac, so it had to be defended from attack. Abe Lincoln went to observe the fighting, and became the only sitting President to come under enemy fire.
