I think it shows that many states didn’t secede until after Lincoln made the call for 75000 troops. As for the price of beans in boston, the American Revolution was started at Lexington Green in response to the crown’s positioning of troops to put down the rebellion.

So? A nation has a right to prepare as it sees fit.

I don't remember that on the list of grievances.

I'm not getting your obsession with troop movements. Nations move troops, happens all the time. The Confederates surrounded Fort Sumter, but the fighting didn't start until the South attacked.
