    That is if you believe the only time we gained rights was the civil war.

      You’ve heard of race riots? How about labor / union riots? I’m not saying the same thing as the user you responded to - not ALL rights are won through violence certainly, but there have been rights secured since the civil war in the US through violence. So it’s more complex than “no rights since the civil war”
