"Jacob, do you know what incident exactly started the Second Civil War?" the History Teacher asked.
"Somethin' to do with the integration of some school in Little Rock, Arkansas?"
"Yes, quite. It was Central High School, nine African-American students enrolled in Central High, and a segregationist protest started on the surrounding streets. Orval Faubus, Governor of Arkansas order the Arkansas National Guard to support the segregationists. To counter, President Eisenhower ordered in the 101st Airborne Division in to lead the nine into the High School. Now, does anyone know what happened next? Yes, Avery?" Avery answered "Didn't the Arkansas National Guard, acting on secret orders from Faubus, shoot and kill two members of the 101st?" The teacher replied "Yes, they did. It erupted into a firefight. That night, Arkansas seceded from the Union. Segregation was banned in a midnight act of Congress that night. Several states seceded as soon as Arkansas did and most were in the south. Can anyone one name at least three states that seceded. What about you, Natalie?" "Well I know Kansas, Mississippi and umm, Kentucky?" "Yes good ones. The main reason for Kansas's secession was the Topeka Board of Education loosing Brown vs. The Board of Education. What other states were unusual for what they did? Logan?" "Louisiana and Florida didn't secede, right?" "Yes, Louisiana's large African American population and Florida's large Yankee population were the main reasons. The States met in Natchez, MS met and Confederated, forming the second Confederate States of America. All military was confiscated and they all surrendered to the CSA, some in bloody fights, others rather easily."
The White House, 1957
Dwight D. Eisenhower looked to both his North and his South. Fires blazed across the Potomac. Virginia was in the Union, but under martial law. He felt a failure as President, he was such a stupid son of a bitch for sending in the 101st in to Little Rock in the first place. A similar situation was going on in Maryland. He had lived a full life, and failed the Union. What point in there was living? I can't do this, he thought.
He picked up a pistol and shot himself in the head.
