[Georgia Girl 2]

‘War is the remedy our enemies have chosen. And I say let us give them all they want.’”

No the South seceded from the Union. Then the North went to war with the South.

Georgia Girl 2: "No the South seceded from the Union.
Then the North went to war with the South."

No, Deep-South Fire Eaters declared secession, then the Confederacy declared war on the United states:

1. Lincoln elected, November 6, 1860
2. Southern Fire Eaters began organizing to declare secession, November 9, 1860.
3. South Carolina declared secession and immediately began seizing Federal properties and threatening Federal officials, December 20, 1860.
4. Seceding states seized dozens of major Federal properties including forts, ships, arsenals & mints, and fired on Union officials January through April 1861.
5. The Confederacy began Civil War by assaulting and seizing Federal troops in Fort Sumter, April 12, 1861.
6. The Confederacy formally declared war on the United States, May 6, 1861.
7. The Confederacy sent military aid to Confederate forces operating in the Union State of Missouri, May 4, 1861.

All of this happened before a single Confederate soldier was killed in battle with any Union force, and before any Union Army invaded a single Confederate state.
