And the North would not have fought if the South had not fired on Fort Sumter.
Disputing the southron myth machine is a never ending task.
Not trying to argue with you, but remember, South Carolina seceeded from the United States, It was no longer part of the Union. As a free nation, South Carolina asked that all union forces be removed from South Carolina soil. Linclon refused and in an effort to press the matter, sent supplies to the troops at Fort Sumter with the message, hold out until the end. If we have a military base in Mexico, and mexico tells us to close it down and leave and all we do is re-supply it, can we not expect Mexico to militarily remove it.
Oy veh! You can say that again!
