Not exactly, Partisan. They were raising an army for the purpose of repelling an invasion which they saw was forthcoming from Lincoln. Defense of one's home is no crime.
those were insurgents whom President Lincoln ordered to disarm and disburse in his procalamtion
So what you're saying is that Lincoln was the Baghdad Bob of his day? Even I give the man more credit than this.
The armistice you mention is imaginary.
Really? Seems that a lot of people knew about it, for it's being imaginary and all. Your saying so does make me think about looking into it, as I consider you the foremost authority on imaginary powers of government.
Even if there had been, it would have been the equivalent of police agreeing not to storm a terrorist-held building while they tired to talk them into surrendering.
Another appeal to the weak of mind? Can I expect this to end sometime soon? The Southerners who'd seceeded prior to Sumter were no terrorists, which you already know. What acts, sanctioned by the acting CSA government, qualify as terrorism?
