A study from California State University, San Bernardino suggests that the possibility of a second US civil war is increasingly plausible, citing similarities between the current hyper-partisan era and the decade before the first civil war in the 1850s. The study warns of ongoing civil strife, insurrections, and political gridlock as likely outcomes.
