No. There should have been an cease fire and a negotiated peace agreement

A Lincoln surrender, like I said. I guess he sure surprised you.

The South had NO DESIRE OR ABILITY to conquer or take over the remaining USA. That concept was laughable then and is now.

Nobody said they did. But that's not the only motivation for war. The South chose war and paid the price for their folly.

Surrender? A peace settlement is not surrender you idiot. The North was never going to submit to Southern authority. You don't even know the definition of the fu--ng word.

sur·ren·der /səˈrendər/

verb

cease resistance to an enemy or opponent and submit to their authority.

"over 140 rebels surrendered to the authorities"

[DiogenesLamp]

This is like saying when an obnoxious large bully gets in your face and threatens to whip your @$$ and then swings a punch at you, (Lincoln's war fleet was the "punch" which Lincoln swung at them) then you punch him in the nose first, *YOU* started it?

No. The guy that took the first swing started it.
