the bloody chasm
амер.; уст.
непримиримая вражда, распря между Севером и Югом (создавшаяся в результате гражданской войны 1861 - 65 гг.)

The North, guided, by Big Business, was frantically engaged in appeasing the South; it was closing the "Bloody Chasm" of the "War Between the States"... (W. Du Bois, ‘The Ordeal of Mansart’, ch. XIII) — Север, руководимый крупным капиталом, самым откровенным образом заигрывал с южанами. Он пытался ликвидировать "кровавую бездну", которую оставила "война между штатами"...
