To me the Civil War was about abolishing racism, and it worked really well to accomplish this goal here in America. Although in Rwanda the case is completely different. Racism thrives in Rwanda. Racism will only thrive if one group of people is made to feel lesser then the opposing group. You put two groups against each other, and they will naturally develop a racist tendency. This is what happened in Rwanda, German scholars went in and did a bunch of different measurements and calculations and split the people into two different groups, Tutsi, and Hutu, making Tutsi better then Hutu. This racism went on for a long time, until the tension between the two grew to tough and the Hutu went on a killing spree. Now the Rwandans are slowly trying to regain their lives, and relearn everything they have thought of the other group.

The thought of the Civil War usually makes people think, "oh slavery was abolished, racism diminished..." but yet, most people even though they have unlimited access to an abundance of information on the Internet don't care enough to research what is going on in the world. They just care about their daily lives and continue to live in a naive bliss. When in all actuality people are being murdered, because of racism.
