I don't think we are more divided than we were in 1861-65, when a group of states tried to secede and 600,000 Americans on both sides died.

The current conflict is a continuation of that clash certainly, as the KKK and Neo-Nazis strive to keep racial division alive, fighting over symbols of white supremacy. But it is not as bad.

To answer Matt's question--I doubt very much there will be a race war, though that has long been an alt-right motif. It drives the plot in the Turner Diaries, for example. Every few years or so some Right Wing terrorist acts thinking he will trigger the longed-for war. 

Practically, though, as long as there is a large middle class of blacks and whites who don't want their property and communities destroyed, there will be no race war. Imagine how that would disrupt the football season!  I doubt very much anyone in this forum wants to see that happen.
