Civil War by Other Means — How a defeated system kept fighting
Welcome to Crisis in Perception, where we examine the systems shaping our world.
Author: Jeremi Suri
This episode explores Civil War by Other Means by Jeremi Suri as a systems-level analysis of how post-Civil War institutions, racial violence, labor control, and election structures influenced behavior, belief, and democratic outcomes.
By focusing on incentive architecture rather than personalities or events, the episode shows why these systems persisted — and how they connected to larger economic, political, and cultural structures.
