See? This is what I expect from you, and why I don't take you seriously. Rather than saying "most likely because it's BS", you should be finding the quotes from the various cabinet members that refute it.
Of course this point isn't something trivial like the origin of "sold down the river", so I can see why you have no interest in tracking it down. This point actually matters, and it goes against you, so you will put no work into it.
Truth hurt?

But your post is BS not because the quotes were made up, I believe that they are all somewhat accurate, but because you neglected to mention that quotes are from the cabinet meeting on March 15 or 16, and that at the March 29 cabinet meeting the vote to resupply Sumter and retain Pickens was 4 to 2 in favor. But instead your intention was to deliberately mislead and make it look like Lincoln ignored his cabinet. He didn't and your implication that he did is the BS.

But as with the earlier discussion, you are either being deliberately misleading or rather dense.
