Do you have evidence of this? The average number of deadly sociopolitical events over 1964-84 was 7 and the average death tolll was 32. The average number of such events over 1908-1928 was 15 and the average death toll was 78. The average number of events for the prior 2T (1886-1908) was 11 events and 44 deaths. In other words the last 2T was violent, the previous 2T was more so, and the 3T was worse than both .
The level of domestic violence we've seen recently is truly far below that during the Awakening, which was enormous in historical terms.

Now you are adding another analytical category without comparing it to the rise murder rates in the previous period. Are these also dwarfed by what happened then? I think you will find they are.
