That it will be like the Civil War, it depends upon what part of the country you live in. The south will call it just a little protest while in the north it will be an insurrection.
Lick the Civil War where the south claims it was all about state rights and the north says it was slavery, so to the Jan 6 uprising there will be those who don’t even teach it in schools and those who will show what really happened on Jan 6.Three years after the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol, a prevalent divide remains over what people believe happened and who bears responsibility. This split has scholars concerned about how this chapter of history will be written and how the tears in civil discourse can be mended to strengthen American democracy.
"We are still almost 250 years into an experiment in democracy. There is no guarantee this would work," Lindsay Hoffman, associate professor of communications and political science at the University of Delaware, told UPI. "For a democracy to work, we have to learn how to listen to each other better and not to listen to create a better argument."

The events leading up to the riot are still being disputed in court. A Colorado judge ruled last month that Trump incited the riot with his rhetoric in the weeks following the 2020 election.
"It felt to many that were engaged politically that it was the culmination of that powder keg," Hoffman said. "It was an outlet for pent up anger and frustration."
More than 1,200 people have been charged with crimes related to the attack and they have come from nearly all 50 states, according to the U.S. Justice Department. More than 400 have been charged with assaulting, resisting or impeding officers or Capitol employees.
About 120 have been charged with using deadly or dangerous weapons or causing bodily injury to an officer.
Five deaths were directly connected to the attack, including that of Capitol Police Officer Brian Sicknick.
