Eric, can you clarify what you mean by this? You believe that the Civil War was part of a normal four generation cycle? I wouldn't disagree; I'm just trying to get clarification on your position here.
Yes, I and others here have explored this idea. It is evident to me that we are in a decade like the 1850s, and the worst of the cold civil war of our time is yet to come in the 2020s. Some like former poster Chas Donald redid the civil war saeculum with revised dates for 4 turnings and generations and started the 1T in the early 1780s. I tend to think there are 4 turnings, but 3 hybrid generations. Both schemes also fit somewhat better with the planetary cycles.
So I moved the civil war 4T back to at least 1850, when the turmoil leading directly to the civil war got going. The 3T extends back to 1834, because anti-slavery activism was tamped down at about that time, which had sprung up during the 2T from about 1815 until 1834. This scheme also jells with the European seaculum, and I think the two are pretty closely related. It's a western civ. cycle.
