Had the South not started a war with Fedzilla then her railroads wouldn't have been trashed or her slaves freed. Let that be the lesson to you.
When asked how they can defend a position so at odds with our founding principles (as articulated in the Declaration of Independence) their only answer is "Slavery!!!!"
One of our founding principles is that if you're going to start a rebellion, regardless of whether the reason is "taxation without representation" or defending slavery, then you had better win it. Another lesson for you.
The fact is, the North could not invade the South for the stated purpose of forcing them back into the Union without violating the very principles upon which this nation was founded.
The fact is that the North was not invading anything until after the Confederacy resorted to armed conflict to further their aims.
Their arguments invariably boil down to a form of "Might makes right."
More like the Union had the better cause, preservation of the United States. The South just had that slavery thing.
Your argument is tantamount to someone responding to being hit by a pea-shooter with murder.
The attack on Ft. Sumter was stupid, but the Fedzilla response was by far disproportionate. No one was killed in the shelling of Ft. Sumter, and I cannot help but think this is because the Confederates really had no intention of killing anyone. Because of the zero casualties as a result of their attack, I suspect they were just trying to make a big show and scare people.

It is folly to think we "won" the war of Independence. Britain just decided to stop fighting us. Had Lincoln been in charge of England, we wouldn't have gained independence.

And what makes this a better cause than the preservation of the United Kingdom?
Why are slave states breaking away from the United Kingdom better than Slave states breaking away from the United States?
Not for nothin, but the north didn’t really invade. We never left the country.
