Are you saying you were wrong resorting to the Nazi analogy?
You may not be aware of this, but Germany did in fact declare war on us. Congress then moved to declare war on Germany.
And the Confederacy initiated the conflict by firing on Sumter. Any invasion, as you term it, would not have happened had they not done so. Likewise Germany initiated the war. Any invasion would not have happened had they not done so. In neither case can the invader be called the aggressor.
It was more constitutionally lawful than the Civil War, which did not receive a congressional declaration of war, as outlined in the Constitution.
You declare war on other countries. The Confederacy was not a sovereign country, not in the eyes of the U.S. or the rest of the world. They were, in the eyes of the U.S. and the rest of the world, a rebellious part of the United States. One does not declare war on oneself in order to quell a rebellion. It was more constitutionally lawful than the Civil War, which did not receive a congressional declaration of war, as outlined in the Constitution.
I'm saying that if you thought I was wrong, why did you think that would justify you doing it?
And the Confederacy initiated the conflict by firing on Sumter.
Once Lincoln sent the fleet to attack them. Even Major Anderson admitted this was the trigger for the war. The first act of war was the sending of that fleet with orders to attack them. Lincoln struck first, but the Confederates beat him to the punch after he had already thrown his first punch.
