Secession doesn't start a war, it is the reaction to it that may or may not cause war. Therefore the chances for war will always be proportional to how warlike, "animalistic", ruthless and arrogant the party separated from is.

Secession didn't cause the war. From the time South Carolina began their rebellion to the early morning of April 13th, 1861 not a single hostile act had been taken by either Buchanan or Lincoln to force an end to secession. Every act of aggression was committed by the South. It was the South that chose war. They decided Sumter was worth the conflict. They thought they could initiate a war and win it. They were wrong. All the warlike, animalistic behavior, all the ruthlessness and arrogance lay in Montgomery. And considering the constant Lost Cause refusal to take responsibility for their actions, it's clear that such behavior continues to this day.

End the occupation....

ROTFLMAO!!!!! Considering all the damage done by the last 5 Southern presidents I think that the real question is haven't be paid enough for Sherman's march?

Stop the presses!!!!

Up until this very moment, non-sense has been in a complete state of denial about secession even going as far as unequivocally stating that the South never seceded.

Glad to see that you're finally starting to admit certain truths, non-sense.
