The issue of secession “over the issue of slavery” is commonly misunderstood, particularly given the orientation of historical publications of the 1930s to 1980s.

And yet the gentlemen of Mississippi said it straight out at the time. As did those of Texas, Georgia, and South Carolina, in their Declarations of Secession.

You have a right to your own opinions, but not to your own facts.

And you should spell it Ft. Sumter.

Ah, yes. Trying to be pissy over a typo -- which does not remove your difficulty with the historical facts.
