Iceclimber58: "Thanks for posting. I enjoy reading about the War of Northern Aggression."

You mean the War of Confederate Invasion of the United States.
After provoking, starting & declaring war on the United States (May 6, 1861), Confederates immediately invaded or insurrected in six Union states & territories:

  1. Maryland
  2. Missouri
  3. West Virginia
  4. New Mexico
  5. Kentucky
  6. Oklahoma (Indian Territory)
As of October 3, 1861 there had been 54 engagements -- 2/3 in Union states/territories, 1/3 in Confederate states, and more Confederate soldiers had died (430 to 393) or been casualties (3,120 to 2,810) in battles in the Union than in Confederate state battles.

Sure, as the Civil War dragged on, more and more it was fought in Confederate states, but it began as a War of Confederate Aggression against the USA.
