In America life, we tend to imagine that there was once a time when America was a free, peaceful country, and people got along great. Most of the time when we get this kind of nostalgia, we think or hope that we can return to that kind of life. But that dream is a myth. For as much as I like my country, we have been rife with division and violence pretty much since day one. In the run up to the 1800 presidential election - only the third in the country's history - there was widespread violence, huge division, and open hatred. Nothing much has changed.
