This is very biased with it's wording, which is fine but should be clarified . The US Civil War and Constitution is really not the civil war and the constitution everywhere you can just change the definition to that of the civil war and of a constitution. Jerusalem is not the only holy land, so Jerusalem or Palestine is a little better.
