i>1. The Federals attacked the Southern States with 75,000 troops after Ft. Sumter was fired on because it was being resupplied, which Lincoln promised not to do. Who is the aggressor here? The Federals. Lincoln.

The so-called confederate states called for an army of 100,000 men when the US Army was 18,000. And I know it galls you neo-confederate persons, but the CSA stumbled into the war by being unclever enough to fire the first shot.

Lincoln did a masterful job playing the secessionists for the fools they were, and he did a masterful job generally.

Oh, Lincoln never agreed not to resupply Fort Sumter. That's just a lie.
