Let us consider slavery and racism.
Supposedly destroyed in the Civil War, racism actually spread and increased and slavery mutated into Jim Crow; once evil is part of the system, it is hard to eradicate. We have not eradicated it yet. As long as it remains systematic, there is the possibility it will metastasize or will return in its original form.
