[Non-Sequitur]

The South was looking for a fight. There is no denying that. Beauregard in Charleston was itching to fire on those forts.

And yet all of your Southron cohorts would have us believe that the entire blame for the conflict lies with Lincoln. I give you credit for admitting that the South was looking for an excuse.

You are as ardent in your defense of Lincoln's innocence in starting the war are as you are in your haste to place the blame entirely on the South.

You are no different from the "southern cohorts" you complain against. No different at all.

Lincoln resupplied Ft. Sumter because he was looking for a fight. Beauregard was happy to oblige.

I don't think it is an accident that you agreed to half my post and not the other half.
