"Bruce Catton, The Coming Fury" And yet again a concise explanation that's been debated over dozens of FR CW threads, in thousands of posts, here summarized in one page, including Robert Toombs clear & accurate warning to Jefferson Davis not to start Civil War at Fort Sumter.
But Davis was headless of Toombs' warning because of "other considerations".
