Your usual reply...failure to deal with the facts and numbers.
But your determination to obfuscate is clear. You are not a Socratic scholar.
But you are who you are.
Without notifying Congress, Lincoln sent a fleet of Union warships under command of a retired junior Naval officer under orders to send supplies to a group of Union soldiers that were about to surrender and leave a fort with no function other than to force taxation of the local people. Their resistance became labeled rebellion, despite the absence of any other higher authority from which to rebel, except a sitting U.S. president who had vowed to protect the revenue stream from Southern production.
The new President would accept slavery but not the loss of revenue for the country. He essentially treated the Southern Confederacy as subject states of which he demanded that they remain under the taxing authority of the government.
