We do not have:
1. a struggle for national independence followed by institutional chaos (Revolutionary War and the struggle to establish Constitutional government).
2. a struggle between regions based on disparate values in economics and general valuation of people.
3. an apocalyptic war between us and powers intent on conquering the world in the establishment of a world-wide slave system for those 'privileged' enough to not be exterminated among the defeated.
We solved the problem of a distant king trying to micromanage things from across an ocean. Slavery is kaputt in America once and for all. Genocide is widely recognized as an abomination.
