Yes.  Very true.  What's the Second US Civil War about?  I kind of
pictured
it as a big combination of factors - such as the growth of a Hispanic
majority in the South West, many of whom would be illegal immigrants
(this
isn't meant in any way to be a slur against Hispanic Americans - just a
reflection of social trends that are already developing) - and by this
time
you'd be getting second-generation "illegals" who are hiding from the
system.  Massive youth-gang problems throughout much of this region.
Drug-based crime.  Reactions to this from extremists - such as the
highly
conservative "religious-right" - Christians they may claim to be -
tolerant
they ain't...

Remember my "story" is set several decades from now, when these problems
have had a chance to really fester...

No - the other 80 - 100 million are the Hispanics who I mentioned later.
OK, I'm playing a bit fast and loose with the numbers, but that doesn't
really change my point, which was that the majority of the FOUNDERS of
the
NAC were English speakers...
