What do you think would lead to a modern Civil War?

Disclaimer: This discussion should not be construed as me calling for, promoting or advocating civil war in today's United States of America. I am merely curious to hear what you all think would trigger the ultimate nightmare a nation can face... Citizen warring against Citizen. Whether you call it the Civil War, the War Between the States, the War of Nothern Agression, or whatever, we all can agree that is was a nightmare in our nation's history. A nightmare that threatened the very existence of our nation... Just think, before any of us were ever born we could have been destined to NOT be Americans. That war was triggered by a lot of issues, mostly centering around States Rights, Economic and Social differences. If there is a civil war in our near (or distant) future, I think it will also revolve around those three categories. The details would probably be different, but the basics would be about the same. We no longer enslave Africans in the US, so that wouldn't be one of the detials of a future civil war, but we do have racial tensions that could trigger another one. One of the big issues fuelling the racial tensions is "reparations". Somehow White Americans today must pay the Black Americans of today for something that ended long before anyone alive today was born? I think reparations might trigger civil war from all sides of that issue. It seems like it would be black and white, but it wouldn't be that simple. For instance, should all Americans who are Black get reparations? Or just those who are descendants of slaves? What about people who aren't descendants of slaves, but their ancestors owned slaves? What if those slave owners were Black? When the money starts flowing, the tensions would flare to the point of violence. Another trigger would be banning guns. There are people in American training and ready for that dreaded day when our police, National Guardsmen or even our Active Duty Military are given the unlawful order to turn their weapons against us and take ours from us. While reparations "could" start a civil war, turning our police and military against us would absolutely start one. All that kind of totalitarianistic stupidity would do is get a lot of good people (on both sides) killed and turn our streets over to the criminals who didn't turn theirs in. The other trigger I can think of is banning abortion completely. For some reason, what gun rights are to the right, abortion rights are to the left. Even if the ban made exceptions for true medical emergencies, I think those who truly consider abortion a right would fight for that right. There are probably more, but I'll leave the rest up to you. What rights do you think are so ingrained in a big enough segment of US society that the threat of losing it would be a call to arms?
