A woman tells her abusive husband she is divorcing him. He grabs her arm. (Fort Sumter) She tells him to let her go or she's gonna smack him. He raises his fist to strike, and she punches him in the nose.
They fight. She tries screaming for help from the neighbors, but they feel it's a problem between husband and wife, and they don't help. She gets in a few good hits, but he is stronger and more powerful.

If you're going to continue with the idiotic analogies then at least try and be accurate. A more realistic analogy would be the woman walking out of a marriage without discussion or negotiation, after running up the joint credit cards and taking every piece of community property she could get her hands on, and then when the husband tried to keep one last piece of property she grabs a shot gun and shoots at him.

after running up the joint credit cards...

BZZZZZZZTTTT!!!

The contestant is incorrect!

The North was running up the bills, the South was paying for them. Even BroJoeK has admitted that at least 50% of US revenue came from Southern trade. Once I got him to even admit it was as high as 60%.

1/4th the population paying 50% of the bills (really it's 73%) while the other 3/4ths of the population pays only 50% of the bills?

...when the husband tried to keep one last piece of property she grabs a shot gun and shoots at him.

A gunshot is fatal. What, pray tell, did the South ever do that could be compared with being fatal to the North? You are excessively and massively over exaggerating the significance of Fort Sumter by comparing it to a life ending event. Fort Sumter is more akin to a slap. It never had a chance of seriously hurting the North other than ego.

And you think my analogies are bad?
