This chapter in US history is different in how it is being prosecuted. There has always been a battle between (let's not mince words) slavers and abolitionists. The US Civil War almost put that to rest, but then didn't. The exact same conflict has been brewing since, and now the federal government has taken the slaver side in a way that hasn't happened before, and it wields incredible military might.

The last shoe to drop is whether the Armed Forces of the United States will fall in line with the administration, or stand against in part or in full. Either way, there's going to be a fight.
