“No, we are talking about “before Fort Sumter” versus “after Fort Sumter”, meaning the Confederate military assault on April 12.”

BroJoe is ignoring the Star of the West assault that preceded it.

Pelham: "BroJoe is ignoring the Star of the West assault that preceded it."

But you know perfectly well the Star of the West assaulted nothing, and indeed was assaulted by bombardment from the shore near Fort Sumter.
Like Lincoln's mission to resupply Sumter in April, President Buchanan's earlier mission in January, sending Star of the West to resupply the fort, failed.

"Confederate military assault" is funny. INSTEAD OF "defense of sovereignty from a designed North-concocted sh*t-stirring operation." But that's how defenders of Lincoln need to frame the Ft Sumter incident.

That said, there also seems to be a lot of conflating of select ambiguity and uninformed facts on the subject on the CW; Par for the course.

I reckon it's to help mask Lincoln's subterfuge, coercive fascism, and tyranny that's masqueraded as the "Honest Abe" who "held the Union together (with a literal gun to the head of a subjugated South.)
