19th Century: the nation is divided over slavery.
Reconstruction a period during which many things were improved upon or introduced (e.g. public school system IINM) by so called black and white people working together was abruptly ended via backroom deals by both northern and southern political agents. Leading to the Jim Crow era.
20th Century: the nation is divided over civil rights.
after/during which we see the introduction of crack and heroin into black neighborhoods, mass assassinations, mass incarceration, mass rioting, mass military conscription i.e. vietnam draft, redlining, gutting of the voting rights act, etc
21st Century: the nation is divided over changing demographics.
Extrajudical killings brought into the media spotlight as well as their upholding by court systems, an unabashed and unhinged white supremacist in the white house, and whatever else is to come
