The south wanted to go its own way. Lincoln gave them war. The way of tyrants, big government and Obama. As you might recall, 13 colonies wanted to go their own way. By your reasoning, England was swell because they gave them war. Lincoln was a tyrant. No wonder he is so worshipped in D.C. He even has his own temple there.
The south started the war. Jefferson Davis ordered Confederate forces in Charleston SC to fire on a Federal installation. The only reason the south wanted to go its own way was so they could keep 3,000,000 people as chattel property, like their horses or mules. Jefferson Davis is enshrined on Monument Avenue in Richmond. Along with Lee, Jackson and others. The only man whose statue stands on Monument Avenue that has a winning record is Arthur Ashe.
Bombarding Fort Sumter was just a hobby?
