There were a couple decades of "reconstruction", during which carpetbaggers from the north went south to lord it over southerners. Then southern whites regained power and we got the institutionalized racism that lasted from the late 19th century to 1960 or so. Basically there was no patching up, just continued disagreement with one side winning at a time.
Ah yeah just as i thought. That explains a lot and I do think this time around under Dionysian power, like back during the civil war times nothing will truly be settled. Not until much later. The little ones of today will begin the healing.
Don't expect that to happen unless DC stops trying to run the lives of everyone by remote control. I don't really see the progressives/liberals ever figuring out that the US is many societies and not just one.
