Confederacy: but we want more enslaved people
Union: no, no, can’t do it
Confederacy: okay well, we won’t be your states anymore
Union: once you join, you can never leave, the more perfect union cannot become less so
Confederacy: we firin on your shit
Union: oh boy, it’s on

That’s when the civil war broke out,
it had been very civil until then.

It actually wasn’t. Congress people had been know to beat each other with canes and challenge each other to duels over the expansion of slave vs free states. It was actually decidedly uncivil.

Mate. It’s a joke. Call it a play on words if you will in that civil can mean different things when followed with another word. Eg engine ering, service, disobedience, liberties, affairs, etc...
Civil, to be kind or respective of one another,
Civi l war, aka intrastate war, a war of groups within the same country with the aim of taking control of the country or independence to create a country.
The joke is, there’s nothing civil in a civil war.

...no, no, I got it. I definitely got it!
...I just like telling the story of how congress people were already beating each other up in the halls of congress over slavery.

I mean OBVIOUSLY this was way over simplified and meme-ified, but just to let you know, other than my writing, I’m a social studies teacher specifically civics.
I’ve taught JHS/HS US history/civics, both regular and AP. The Civil War basically started the moment the Constitution was designed and ratified, which ironically might not have even been fully “legal” because the delegates were there to “amend” the Articles of Confederation (which, I mean, they had to, the Articles would have fallen apart eventually). It was just a “cold civil war” for like 7 0 years.
So all the natural caveats in place about oversimplification and meme- ification, I think “yah, close enough.”

I have a faux-libertarian Republican Uncle and this is exactly what I tell him every time he blames abolitionists for the Civil War and says they should have tried to end slavery peacefully.

Yup. That was the last line. Directed at the Confederacy. Not directed at non-secessionist states.

What would have happened if the original founders had not capitulated on slavery? Would the U.S. have begun as two countries? We would’ve lost the war to the Brits... We’d be Canada South? Just an interesting thought experiment.
