This will be short. It needn’t be long.
Ask any American citizen—be it a recent High School grad or a Wall Street financial wizard—this question.
“When did the American Revolution begin?”
The learned among the queried will answer:
“It began when, in April 1775, British troops and colonial militia fought on the road to Lexington and Concord.”
That’s a militarily accurate response. But the DNA of the American Civil War can be traced back further, for example, to the Boston Tea Party in December 1773. As well as to the nine other Tea Parties (Philadelphia, Charleston, Edenton, Wilmington, Greenwich, New York, Chesterton, York, and Annapolis) that don’t make it into many school books.
Next question:
“When did the Civil War break out between the American states North and South?”
Some will say it started in April 1861 when South Carolina troops fired on Fort Sumter as a supply ship tried to reach the federal troops based in the fort.
But before the war between the Union and the Confederacy went full throttle, there was the “Bleeding Kansas, Bloody Kansas, or the Border War”. That was “a series of violent civil confrontations in Kansas Territory, and to a lesser extent in western Missouri, between 1854 and 1859. It emerged from a political and ideological debate over the legality of slavery in the proposed state of Kansas.”
Last question:
“When might a third American Civil War” begin?”
In labeling the January 6, 2021 conflagration outside the U.S. Capitol Building an “insurrection,” the left tacitly alleged that a Third American Revolution has begun led by MAGA Republicans.
Some who attended the event remain jailed without trial. “In the three years since the Jan. 6, 2021, assault on the U.S. Capitol, federal prosecutors have charged more than 1,265 defendants across nearly all 50 states and D.C. and secured sentences of incarceration for more than 460 people, according to newly released numbers from the U.S. Attorney's Office in D.C.” (source)
On January 6, 2021, a Canada Free Press article asked the question found in the title reference the “Insurrection”: January 6, 2021: Precursor to America’s Third Civil War? | Canada Free Press.
In the three years and six months since that question was posed, the tension necessary for an affirmative answer has considerably increased.
Should it come, the Third American Civil War will not find U.S. states aligned as North vs. South, but as Red vs. Blue.
And the “Fundamental Transformation” of America, as proposed by former President Barack Obama, will be upon us.
