It would be interesting to look up the newspapers in both the North and the South right before the Civil War broke out and see if there was any propaganda. Was it the politicians that led the people in the south to be against the north, or did all of the northerners already think of southerners as slave-owning lower class people, and southerners think of the north as controlling dictators?
It would get really ugly if the US military broke in two and fought itself now.
