Now tell me. Did Lincoln march an army into Virginia? Yes...Did Lincoln do so without the consent of Virginia's people? Yes...Did Lincoln's army exert hostility against those same people? Yes...Were the people of Virginia forced to submit to that army? Yes.

After Virginia had joined the forces of the rebellion. And after the confederacy had fired first at Charleston.

Wrong. Lincoln actually extended his blockade against Virginia before it officially seceded.

And after the confederacy had fired first at Charleston.

Wrong again. The union ship Harriet Lane fired the first shot several hours before any confederate pulled a trigger.
