None of that applied in 1860.
Southerners wanted separation from the yankees, whom they had never gotten along with and, as you well know, that same sentiment continues to this day.
ROTFLMAO!!!! Y'all didn't have a problem when y'all were running things.
Lincoln could have met with the Southern peace envoy that was sent to DC.
There was no such envoy.
Lincoln could have removed the troops from Ft. Sumter.
Why? It was their fort.
Lincoln could have sought a peaceful resolution.
None was desired by the rebel side.
The first part of the above statement is reprehensibly offensive.
The truth sometimes hurts.
If it weren't for Southerners there never would have been an American Revolution...
Absolute bullsh*t.
Liar.
Why? It was their fort.
Liar.
None was desired by the rebel side.
Liar.
Absolute bullsh*t.
Yes you are.
