Avoiding war by firing on a Federal Fort. Sort of like screwing for virginity. Lincoln called up 75,000 volunteers after the Confederate Government decided to start a war by firing on Fort Sumter. They had a choice,
Anderson told Beauregard that he would surrender the fort
with in 48 hours if not resupplied. Davis order Beauregard to open fire before any resupply effort could be carried out, even thou the resupply was food for the garrison. The reason the south wanted to be left alone was so that 3,000,000 slaves could continue to plant their cotton, tobacco, rice and indigo unencumbered by such concepts as freedom.

Yes Fort Sumter was in the middle of New York harbor.

You are simply a lying Damn Yankee.
