Are we on the verge of civil war?

It seems the country is back to 1860 on the eve of the Civil War, rather than in 2018, during the greatest age of affluence, leisure and freedom in the history of civilization. By Victor Davis Hanson | The Tribune | 09/19/2018 Americans keep dividing into two hostile camps.
