New American Civil War?

The war that was hardest on the USA was the Civil War. Great pain resulted, and perhaps it is a national memory of it that scares people into thinking another civil war is on its way. An article at https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/onpolitics/2018/06/27/civil-war-likely-voters-say-rasmussen-poll/740731002/ reports that 31% of American adults think a civil war will occur within five years. That’s surprising to me as a Canadian. I doubt that even 1/100 of one percent of Canadians expect a civil war here. 31%?  Wow. I think they are wrong. As mentioned in yesterday’s post, a European civil war seems far more likely, albeit not in 5 years, yet soon enough that I wouldn’t recommend major illiquid investments on the continent.
