Could We Have Another Civil War? Reflections on America's Past "Civil Wars"

Following World War I, there was a World War II. The seeds of the Second World War were sown by the first one. We will examine the root causes of the Civil War and its outcomes. This lecture will review why and how mechanisms of democracy – still in place -- failed to resolve pre-war issues peaceably, and how the War's outcome set up some of today's most divisive issues. American democracy is designed to protect citizens from rapid change and from the tyranny of majorities/large states. But could this lead to a pent-up demand for change or to a tranny of minorities/small states? Speaker: Dr. Charles Kupchella
