Given the paucity of the South's resources, he had no other choice.
but, unfortunately, Lincoln preferred a more violent solution.
No, he didn't at all.
However, the violent assault on US troops stationed at Fort Sumter gave him no other choice.
Davis' minions just didn't take his Peace Commission as seriously as he did.
The truth speaks otherwise. The South didn't invade the north..............
my family just watched a re-enactment of this on dvd last night...
instead, "lincoln" intentionally PROVOKED WAR, which needlessly caused the DEATH of about ONE MILLION Americans, who died for his EGOTISM, LUST FOR POWER & little else. (NOTE: being murdered does NOT make a "cheap, scheming politician" into a NATIONAL HERO. it just makes him a DEAD crook.)
IF you think "lincoln, the TYRANT" was "wunnerful,wunnerful", i bet you think "wee willie klintoon" was "the BEST POTUS ever", as lincoln & klintoon were "TWO of a BAD kind".
sad, that you & so many other naive Americans have been DUPED by the northeastern/left coast REVISIONISTS & ELITISTS, who wouldn't spit on you, if you were on fire.
