Then there was nothing to negotiate unless Lincoln first surrendered to rebel demands.

You keep saying they needed permission to leave. Was Caesar Lincoln's understanding of this “permission” the same as yours,yes or no?

No. Lincoln didn't believe secession was allowed with or without permission. I disagree with that.

What choice is left? Lincoln was going to get his war.

Permission was never ‘on the table’. Southern States were going to be invaded.No?
