"::::::::::Bloody Sunday comes to mind. For England may keep faith when all is said and done, but the doing took some time. Some schoolchildren were in the Bloody Sunday massacre, weren't they? (C.f., Jackson State and Kent State). 
 ::::::::::It has taken the U.S. centuries to overcome the legacy of slavery, and there is little doubt that the fury of white men, particularly in the South, against the federal government is a continuation of resistance to the Republic: Perhaps ""God wills that [this violence shall] continue until all the wealth piled by the bondman's two hundred and fifty years of unrequited toil shall be sunk, and until every drop of blood drawn with the lash shall be paid by another drawn with the"" gun. For my part, I see the continued sales and possessions of handguns and assault rifles as the American worship of ""MOLOCH, horrid King besmear'd with blood Of human sacrifice, and parents tears, Though, for the noyse of Drums and Timbrels loud, Their children's cries unheard that passed through fire To his grim Idol"", as the always instructive Garry Wills commented.
