The facts support your article. I’ve long argued that it was not a “civil war”, which is defined as a war between citizens of the same country, but rather a “war of Northern aggression.” Nothing in the Constitution forbids states from seceding. Your article is great because it’s based on facts and not the fabrications of the victors. Lincoln should have listened to that member of his cabinet that suggested he let the South go in peace. Great article.

Didn't the south fire the first shot?

"let the South go in peace" is totally bogus

A war between the two countries would have occurred before 1880. The issue would have been borders and western expansion.
