Sorry about the delay in replying - it was the weekend, and my DFS was home, so time spent buggering about on internet was limited!

Anyway, I don't have any hard numbers for you, more sort of anecdotal evidence from conversations had around the place over the last few months. Personally, I see the largest divisions along religious and racial lines.

Groups such as the KKK are still (relatively) common there; one example I came across recently is the <a href="http://vanguardnewsnetwork.com" target="_blank">Vanguard News Network</a>, which professes hate for pretty much everyone apart from themselves. The recent events, including "Death Threat" stories related by members of this board, show that there are plenty of individuals willing to at least discuss visiting violence on those who do not believe in the same things as they do.

I've no idea what's really going to happen, but I can imagine one or more states ceding from the Union. Remember, you've had a Civil War fairly recently, historically speaking, and the divisions in terms of political leanings, religion and geographical location remain much the same (I'm not an historian, by any means!).

Anyway, that's my quick layman's opinion.
