“Then there was nothing to negotiate unless Lincoln first surrendered to rebel demands.”
Would have saved 600,000+ lives.Plus,Prevented You from being forced to watch the SEC - Kick your “collective” asses!
“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?
Again, by surrendering. Your complaint seems to be that Lincoln didn't roll over and surrender to every Southern demand, not that Davis chose to start a war that killed 600,000 plus.

SEC? Security and Exchange Commission?????
What choice is left? Lincoln was going to get his war.
Only if Davis started it. Which he did.

You're the one insisting that the South was there to negotiate when the answer is that no, they were not. They had no flexibility in their demands. Lincoln didn't have any in his. So if you want to say that neither side was open to negotiation then I won't disagree. But please drop the Southron nonsense that they were there to negotiate anything at all.
