Brother, the country was more of a "powder keg" in the 60s and it still didn't happen. Americans (Chuds mainly) talk a big game about civil war, but in the end the vast majority are too comfortable (And as another commenter aptly pointed out: lazy) to actually put their money where their mouth is and their lives on the line.

Just because things were more tense and nothing happened doesn't mean history will repeat, or exactly the same as before. Things are fluid.
