At gunpoint. Does that not bother you?
The illegally seceding rebels probably shouldn’t have started the shooting by attacking that Federal fort. If Governor Jerry Brown ordered the Cali state police to start shooting up that naval base in San Diego would you be down with that?
I’m much more disgusted with states leaving to form their own country on the basis of preserving and expanding slavery than I am with Lincoln fighting a war to keep them in the Union.
Who fired first.
Rather sad for rebel apologists to complain about the noise of gunfire.
