I find it amusing that so many Lincoln apologists cite Clause 5, Article III, Sec. 3 of the U.S. Constitution to support their conclusion that the seceded states committed treason simply by seceding. However, a close reading of that authority does not support such a conclusion. It states, rather, that treason against the United States shall consist only in levying war against them.

Name one please.

Could the firing on Fort Sumter by Confederate authorities be considered levying war against the United States?

Just go on any thread that discusses the Civil War and you’ll find scores of them. I bet you’ll even find your “name” there.
