Sumter did not belong to South Carolina and it was an act of war when they seized it.

The north went to war to defend the union and ended up saving the slaves. The south went to war to defend slavery and ended up losing everything.

Being taught at every level of the educational system is the official party line that everything good that we or anyone believe about our Confederate ancestors is a myth, and by myth they mean a pack of lies that Southerners thought up to excuse their evil deeds and defeat. No, actually only the myths are being exposed as myths.

Just from that alone it was clear the csa was not going to leave the usa alone and “coexist peaceably” ndxt to them , and not bother them. Its a g-d pipe dream if anyone actually convinced themselves that was going to be true.

And then they took up arms in a stupid cause against The United States of America, launched the bloodiest war in American history and lost. The End.

Yes, and we will fight another bloody, losing war against tyranny, and we will continue fighting until we end the rule of the beast.

The South did not trust Mr. Lincoln. They thought him overly ambitious, the kind that absolute power would corrupt absolutely - the kind that would raise an army, invade soverign states on a pretext, suspend the habius corpus, imprision political foes, ignore the supreme court, suppress newspapers, fight a total war on civilians, and kill hundreds of thousands. Of course, what did the South know?

“The north went to war to defend the union . . .”
One thing at a time. It looks like we all agree the north was not fighting the war over slavery. Right?
To: Rusty0604
Thanks dude. You just gave me one hell of a case of intellectual and historical whiplash.

You work, do you? If you do and it’s legit, you’re rolling over and paying taxes too Poindexter. And if you’re off the books, you ain’t got a dog in this fight.

You mean that thing Lincoln brought up 3 years into the warThe war started in April, 61. The Preliminary Emancipation Proclamation was proclaimed in September, 62.
Let's see, that's 17 months, not 3 years.

What’s legality have to do with the immorality of slavery and the crime of treason? Next guess to you.
