Well, strictly speaking it was 142 years ago. Still more than a century, I know, but less than two. I took a history class on the Civil War in college, from a professor who taught nothing but Civil War-related topics. I don't remember whether the idea was his or another scholar's, but he told us that statistically, considering all the civil wars in the world that we have records of, it usually takes a country about 200 years to completely recover from a civil war.

2065, here we come!!
