I've always thought a civil war like the original one was pretty improbable because the ideological divisions wouldn't be between two countries comprised of entire states, but between urban and rural populations. Even the red states have blue areas, usually the large cities - and here in MN, when you get outside Minneapolis/St. Paul and environs, plus Duluth and a few college towns, it's Alabama only colder. Seems to me it would be more like The Troubles in Northern Ireland, with guerilla warfare directed at specific targets, or the English civil wars of the 17th century, with armed forces competing for specific geographical strongholds.

I suppose I should buy a box of shells for my shotgun, though, just in case.
