It's not the sort of thing that we like to think about in the US, but could a civil war happen here? There are several signs that it could happen. Lundbaek posted in another thread about how a general does not acknowledge Barack Obama as commander in chief and won't accept orders from him. If he's given an order and they try to force him to obey, that could spark a civil war right there. Also, economic unrest is a huge cause of war. During the Great Depression that was a real worry on the part of the government, because there was a large number of unemployed, unhappy people. Now is definitely the time, if it isn't already, to get your house in order and get your food supply. If we follow the Lord we have nothing to fear.

I din't know if I'm doing good thing or a bad thing in posting this statement attributed to President John Taylor, but here goes.
"Were we surprised when the last terrible war [Civil War] took place here in the United states? No;... You will see worse things than that, for God will lay his hand upon this nation, and they will feel it more terribly than ever they have done before. There will be more bloodshed, more ruin, more devastation than ever they have seen before. Write it down! You will see it come to pass; it is only just starting in....there is yet to come a sound of war, trouble and distress, in which brother will be arrayed against brother, father against son, son against father, a scene of desolation and destruction that will permeate our land until it will be a vexation to hear the report thereof" (President John Taylor, Journal of Discourses, 20:318 )
