Fun Fact - One of the Union Officers that occupied the Southern Fort in Charleston Harbor and Precipitated the Civil War was: ABNER DOUBLEDAY.

Yes. That Abner Doubleday.

It was Lincoln that used the Navy to engineer the Gulf of Tonkin Incident; I meant to say the Fort Sumter Incident.

It was Lincoln who used the military to levy war against the states.

That much is not in dispute. We may never know the reason why.
