Your point is the same point that you post time after time. It's all Lincoln's fault, the Confederates were just following the Declaration of Independence, if the Union wanted peace then they would have just shrugged off that whole Fort Sumter bombardment thing, and so forth and so on. I didn't think he held water in the past, it's still leaking like a sieve now, so I'll just let you find someone who hasn't heard it all before and try and convert them.
No, it's a new point, but you are certainly treating it as if it wasn't. Your cavalier dismissal of points which do not suit your narrative is simply evidence of your subjectivity.
Lincoln sent an armed force to Ft. Sumter. He said he wasn't going to do that, but he lied. He did not send them to play patty cake, he sent them there to fight.
The mind is like a parachute— it functions best when opened. Lamp Boy just can’t pull the rip cord.
