And the south did NOT start the war, Lincoln did, or did you think that restocking Ft. Sumter, when a deal had already been made to restock it's foodstuffs locally, was NOT a preemptive start by Lincoln. He chose to start the war, Your hero Lincoln, or did you think that the firing on Ft. Sumpter was all the Souths doing?

Here is a website on the entire Sumter crisis. You'll notice that at the end of March the decision was made by the confederate government to cut off all communications including food to the fort. Your lack of knowledge about the cause that you defend so loudly is quite remarkable.
