The Southern-Confederate ringleaders of instigating civil war

War would have been averted if Lincoln had not invaded, but he had to attack to claim the impost revenues, as he stated in his inaugural speech.

"War would have been averted if Lincoln had not invaded".. Reversed logic, Confed-P/C style.

The President of the United States "invaded".. the United States? LOL, This is ridiculous!

.."but he had to attack to claim the impost revenues, as he stated in his inaugural speech."

I see, President Lincoln was not reacting to the southern rebellion, he was only concerned with tax issues ? Where you taught this in 'southern-spin' grammar school history classes?

Ladies and gentlemen I give you the 'new' version of Lincoln's inaugural speech. The short and to the point version:

"My fellow Americans. You know who you are. The Union must institute civil war and invade our own states for the sole purpose of collecting unpaid federal revenue. If they, and you know of whom I speak, do not cough up, I mean pay in full, we shall embargo all grit sales to those states in question. Thank you very much. You may depart and commence firing, now!"
