"Finally, an FR Unionist who can read. Lincoln, in combination with Fox, created the plan that plunged the country into war. The totally-unqualified-to-make-the-decision Lincoln, following the advice of the totally-unqualified-to-make-the-decision Fox, contrary to the advice of trained military personnel, made the decision to violate the armistice. Just to be 100% certain, Admiral Lincoln sabotaged his own invasion plan by diverting Powhatan to Florida." This is a news bulletin: You are been awarded the Stand Award of the Week based on that "violate the armistice line.
"It seems that once he realized how long his leash was without Southerners in congress, he got pretty good at it, though:"
As I recall Abraham Lincoln was a Southerner himself, you know, born in a log cabin, near Hodgenville, Kentucky. If I am not mistaken Hodgenville, Kentucky is not exactly Park Avenue. Is that not correct Col Sanders?
"Admiral Lincoln was a real weasel when it came to manipulating public opinion:"
Honest Abe must have been had some tutoring from the Confederates in the "real weasel department.
Old Abe was in the Navy as an Admiral no less? Incredible stuff one learns reading the history according to the neo-Confederate spincultists. Was Lincoln a Lt General in the Union Army Air Core as well? LOL
Old Abe was correct in locking up Confederate Fifth Columnists behind Union Lines as in "evidence upon which the police Commissioners of Baltimore were arrested and are now detained as prisoners at Port McHenry" opps lost the key too.
The 16th President confronted with a Confederate armed rebellion went on to say "I have to state that it is judged to be incompatible with the public interest at this time to furnish the information called for by the resolution." A wise decision with renegade traitors in the midst. Abe knew national security was at great risk and acting accordingly without spilling the beans to Confederate spies lurking about.
"No, in fact, I could not have addressed it more directly. Which state in the West was a slave empire, messpinola? The territories were open to slavery, so where were the enormous numbers?"
The treasonous cotton upper crust first had to attempt to overthrow the United States government and install Davis & poster boy Stephens in the White House, prior to full scale importation of their slaves to the Western states & territories, but guess what Col, the little coup failed big time.
Don;t you think Davis...oh mean "President Davis", aged greatly while in the clink way up here in unconquered 'Yankeeland'. Maybe it was the lack of ladies shawls and those nightly, fancy, cotton plantation, 10 course dinners, served by his 'happy' slaves that made him depressed?
"No, in fact I said that slavery was the primary issue. Clean out your ears, dunderhead, you're making an ass of yourself."
When you're right, you're right, I am a dunderhead and an ass attempting to pry out the truth on the Civil War with a neo-confederate mouthpiece like .....you.
By the way, whose on first?

There was not a man in the Cabinet that did not know that an attempt to reinforce Sumter would be the first blow of war. - Gideon Welles Even preparation to reinforce will precipitate war. I would instruct Anderson to return from Sumter. - William Seward
They have placed an engineer officer at Fort Pickens to violate, as I consider, our agreement not to reinforce. - Braxton Bragg
The people petitioned and pleaded, begged and implored Lincoln and Seward to be heard before matters were brought to a bloody extreme, but their petitions were spurned and treated with contempt. - New York Express
We have no doubt Mr. Lincoln wants the Cabinet at Montgomery to take the initiative by capturing the two forts in its waters, for it would give him the opportunity of throwing upon the Southern Confederacy the responsibility of commencing hostilities. But the country and posterity will hold him just as responsible as if he struck the first blow. - New York Herald
I have had a conference with Secretary Mallory of Florida, and Secretary Fitzpatrick of Alabama, in which they informed me that they and Secretary Slidell had a personal interview with the President and the Secretary of the Navy and were assured by them that no attack would be made upon Fort Sumter and Fort Pickens or any excuse given for the shedding of blood during the present administration. - Governor Moore
Lincoln is trying to plunge the country into a cruel war as the surest means of destroying the Union upon the plea of enforcing the laws and protecting public property. - Steven Douglas
Heck Messpinola, even the commander in charge of the expedition to Pickens refused to land troops, as he knew it was a violation of the armistice and an outright act of war. Fortunately, for the bloodthirsty, Admiral Lincoln ordered his replacement.

See how many of your yankee buds agree with that one.
Old Abe was in the Navy as an Admiral no less?
It's sarcasm. It would seem that trumping the opinions and orders of those with actual military expertise was a favorite hobby of King Lincoln.
Abe knew national security was at great risk and acting accordingly without spilling the beans to Confederate spies lurking about
What the hell are you talking about now? Okay, it's been 145 years, what was the super-secret nature of the arrest of the Maryland legislature? Stonewall Lincoln couldn't admit that they were arrested to prevent assembly and political excersize.
The treasonous cotton upper crust first had to attempt to overthrow the United States government and install Davis & poster boy Stephens in the White House,
Source that one, monkeyboy. 'Till then, you might as well say they were waiting for extraterrestrial contact.
