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.

Really? Who did the South betray? The Revolution war put forward the principle forth people can decide to break the bonds of with their parent nation anytime. In the war of 1820 and the Mexican America war, the south took the brunt of the casualties and made up the majority of the military. If there’s any part of the nation that betrayed the country it was New England who refused to support the war of 1812 and threated to succeed during the war.
