hey, all. me again 
i was thinking about something i decided for my ATL earlier today: in it, britain, france, and the US are all world powers (britain and america are superpowers while france is a borderline superpower). america is engaged in a few different alliances, one of which allies them with an aztec empire and britain, another of which allies them to france and japan. in my ATL, a world war breaks out and britain and france end up on opposing sides. my original idea was to make it be that, as a provision of its alliances, america would intervene on behalf of both britain and france, EXCEPT in the case of a war between those two states as that would be a conflict of interest (so american troops would be dispatched to help both countries on their fronts except those where the british and french empires meet, such as in western and equatorial africa ITTL)
anyway, i was thinking about it earlier and a thought occurred to me: what if there were conflicting factions in america: those that are pro-british, and those that are pro-french? there would presumably be other factions like this--pro-aztec, pro-japanese, nationalist, etc--but theyre irrelevant at the moment. could there potentially be huge domestic issues over this? keep in mind that the war also involves other allies of all three states in question. for example, america is also at war with spain ITTL, which is also an ally of france.
could these domestic issues escalate to civil war and attempted secession of some states from teh union? thoughts?
