In today's world, most of us experience a greater perceived polarization than at any time in memory. But are we more polarized than during the Vietnam War and the CivilRights Movement? What about the Macarthy Era and the "search for communists in the US? And how 'bout during the Civil War?

To save you the time here is a link to information on the War of Jenkin's Ear. You'll find out why when you listen.
