Civil War, beyond a doubt.
How Important? Well, per Shelby Foote, prior to that event people used a plural 'are' when referring to The United states. After 1865, through the present, the singular 'is' has come to define the country. |

Funny thing about the ol' 'War Of Northern Aggression' is that in the Deep South (SC, GA, FLA, LA, Miss, Ala, and E. Texas (W. texas was Comanche country back then) it really was a sectional conflict- and not a civil war.
But if you look at the Virginias, Kentucky, and especially Missouri, you will see the true neighbor kills/rapes neighbor tenor that characterizes most internal conflicts. |
