Chaos theory is a different way of looking at how things in history (or present day) come about. A lot of history approaches see an event as rising from a set number of causes that contributed. It looks at things from the top down (event => causes). Chaos Theory says that events occur spontaneously from a number of seemingly unrelated coincidences, all of which have to be there in order for anything to happen. It says that you cannot predict any event in the short term, but can only see things in t
he broad, long-term patterns that exist (the theory was actually started by a meteorologist and a physicist trying to predict the weather; they could see an overall, century-long pattern, but couldn't predict tomorrow's weather if their lives depended on it (standard fate for all weathermen)). Anyways, that's it in a nutshell. If you want more info, ask; there's a good book that illustrates the theory using your civil rights movement.
