'Second ACWs' are a popular focus of attention in more mainstream AH, the Hearts of Iron mod 'Kaiserreich' being a notable example. Was there ever a possible PoD after 1865 that might have led to the central government becoming so weak, or alternative centres of authority so powerful, that the United States might've had another serious wide-scale attempt at secession, or a coup d'etat, or another possible cause of a protracted civil war among the states?

Note that I'm including the early 20th Century here. After 1940 I think everyone can agree its basically impossible.
