war of northern aggression????
If my history is correct, the confederacy fired the first shots....
just sayin’....
History is written by the winners. If I goad you into a fight and you throw the first punch, who is the agressor? Lincoln’s decision to reinforce Fort Sumter was the agression. Tat fleet was a day away and if allowed to sail into Charleston Harbor, the Confederates would have been exposed to fire from the front and the rear.
So, the term Northern agression is correct.
“The attempt to represent us as the aggressors, is as unfounded as the complaint made by the wolf against the lamb in the familiar fable. He who makes the assault is not necessarily he that strikes the first blow or fires the first gun.” Jefferson Davis
