Even linocln lovers will agree that eh FORCED the attack as he needed (like FDR) the “enemy” to fore the first shot.

Ah, the “Linkum tricked us” ploy. Sorta tread-bare doncha think?

Sorry my friend, I'm not buying it. I usually am on the other side of the fence on the North-South, Blue-Grey, Yank-Reb,Union-Confederacy issue and have found myself defending Lee, while castigating Grant and calling Sherman a war criminal.

But to say that the south was "invaded" by the North, well lets just say that is a bit self serving to the cause.

Once the south seceded the war was on, for all intense and purposes. The location of the War just had to be determined and the North decided first.
