The South wasn’t ‘’invaded’’ Reb.

The bastards opened fire on Ft. Sumter and the fight was bought to them,

And nothing is going to change that or the outcome of 1865.

So stop the semantics.

I am telling you that if an army marches into your land under arms you will fight back.   It does not matter at all what the reason, motive, excuse, or cause is, you will fight.

As simple minded as people to this day are, as seen in the "man on the street interviews" such as Jessie Waters did, do you think most people back then understood the issues of the day?   Not a chance!   Southerners fought an invading army.

The bastards opened fire on Ft. Sumter ...

Because Lincoln sent a fleet of warships to attack them.

Tell the whole truth.
