Everyone knows the United States had a civil war in the 1800s. Lincoln wins election, the South secedes, the Union prevails, slavery’s abolished (mostly), Lincoln’s mind is blown at the theater, kids stuff. Well… we had one civil war, yes. But what about the second civil war? A war in the South in the 1800s in which a controversial election led to two leaders fighting over who had the right to govern. Shots were fired, people died. I’ll admit this is a war that wasn’t exactly fought by the United States, but definitely in the United States. In Arkansas, not even ten years after the war of the rebellion was finished, two men, with nearly identical beliefs, turned Little Rock into a warzone.
