Never happen. Even the 3%-ers are too fat lazy and comfortable to jeopardize those three conditions.
In Hanson's essay, nothing is said about the fat, the lazy, or the comfortable. Instead, when he is discussing student Leftists, he has this to say: "A generation ignorant, arrogant, and poor is a prescription for social volatility". Revolutions are not made by the comfortable; they are made by the poor (however relative that term may be), the disenfranchised, those who have nothing to lose, those who will do whatever it takes to win or die trying, and those cynical enough to convince others to do their dying for them.

Bettin people felt the same about the 1st one
You would lose.:D Certainly by the fall of 1860, many people, north and south, knew civil war was coming soon. The more politically aware folks knew it was coming as early as the mid 1850s.
