Unfortunatly you are correct tensions in the USA are higher than they where at the time of the start of the civil war. Though I do know that the military has been running exorcizes in cities and towns including low flying.
As to how the country will be divided thats up in the air it might be country(politicians) vs people (more of a revolution though), rich vs poor, or party vs party. I have spent a long thinking about this but IMHO is going to be inevitable as there are so many parallels between pre civil war and now.
