Dimwit, the south went to war BEFORE the north called upon those troops to defend its homeland.

While it may be argued that kicking people out of a Fort on their own territory is a belligerent and ill thought out act, the response was excessive.

The strike on the Fort was an affront, but of no real threat to the Union or it's interests.

The strike on the Fort was an affront, but of no real threat to the Union or it's interests.

The strike on federal property was more than an affront - it was a portent of the violence by insurgents yet to come. I realize that anti-Americans like you don't care about such things but there are some of us who do.
