>When the insurrectionists illegally seized federal properties and threatened United States troops they committed acts of war against the United States.

And yet the first act of the war was moving warships and troops from the north into a fort in the south to threaten the harbor of a Southern city. The North made the first hostile act, Linlcon very good propaganda notwithstanding. There’s a reason it’s called the war of Northern aggression.

Wrong - the first act of war was threatening US troops. As (I assume) an American, I would expect you to appreciate the wrongness of that.

There’s a reason it’s called the war of Northern aggression.

And an even better one why they it’s called the war of Southern Treachery.

You forgot about the South firing on the Star of the West and the Rhoda Shannon I see. Both before they fired on Sumter.

There’s a reason it’s called the war of Northern aggression.

Let me guess. Ignorance?
