Oh for Christ sake. The South was paying taxes before secession. And invasion? The South opened fire on Ft.Sumter.

99.9% of the Confederacy was made up of people who made less than a couple hundred dollars a year so spare me the whole “they were defending slavery bit”. The war was fought over what most wars are fought over.....money and power!!!

Lincoln opened fire on them first by sending a war fleet with orders to use it’s entire force to put men and weapons into fort Sumter.
