Summary Second American Civil WarSome historians name the 1861–1865 war as the \”Second American Civil War\”, since the American Revolutionary War could be considered a civil war. The term was cemented by the American Experience episode \”Reconstruction: The Second Civil War\” and made its way to the school curriculum. In the 21st century, during an ongoing culture war between American conservatives and liberals over opposing cultural, moral, and religious ideals, some political commentators have characterized the polarized political discourse as either an actual Second civil war or a potential prelude for one.

In 2019, the national bipartisan Battleground Civility Poll by the Georgetown Institute of Politics and Public Service revealed that the average voter believes the U.S. is two-thirds of the way to aCivil War.
