That's what President Trump wants to know about the Civil War. The situation was eventually resolved but is viewed as a precursor to the Civil War.) Apparently the Civil War and the long-standing Middle East conflict have just been lacking in diplomacy; North Korea may be beyond that. And to say it with the certainty Trump does — “you wouldn't have had the Civil War” with Andrew Jackson — is just foolhardy. It's generally assumed that a deal to avert the Civil War would have included concessions to Southern states having to do with their right to own slaves — the central dispute of the Civil War.
