[Partisan Gunslinger]

The South suddenly attacked without warning, killed 3000 of our soldiers and did 500 billion in damage, and thereafter threatened all our shipping interests in countless other countries? Wow! I didn't know that.

Yes agree the south was terrible at attacking forts, but still the attack was an act of war.

[Original Lurker]

The “attack” on Ft. Sumter was the result of months of provocation. Mr. Lincoln could not let the south leave as it was the means of largess to the other nation-states.

Mr. Lincoln was beholding to the northern industrialists who benefited mightily from the southern state’s capital.

Funny!
I think these threads gain such traction as folk from the bible belt are grossly weary of being lorded over by sodomites, Goldman Sachs, and another of Illinois’ favorite sons, Barach Bathouse Behngazi Obama.

Just sayin’.
