You know very well Jefferson Davis "launched the war", just as he promised in his February Inaugural Address.

I know no such thing. I know that Lincoln sent a fleet of warships to Charleston with orders to attack. Even Major Anderson said this would trigger the war, and he also he said he was ashamed of the Union starting the war in this manner.

Lincoln sent the fleet with orders to attack the Confederates. *THAT* is what started the war.

DiogenesLamp: "Lincoln sent the fleet with orders to attack the Confederates. *THAT* is what started the war."

But you well know the real truth, yet continue to lie about it, why?
You know perfectly well Lincoln's final orders were: no use of force unless resupply of Fort Sumter was resisted by force.
His mission to Fort Sumter was strictly equivalent to our missions today to resupply or reinforce Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.
And you know that perfectly well, but continue lying about it.
Why?
