It was the so-called CSA that brought war in the raw down on their own heads by their cruelty and immorality.

Sorry, Walt, it was Lincoln who showed his true colors in May of 1861 no matter how much of someone elses biased analysis you may hold up as a rebuttal. Besides, do you think a random General (Butler) was picked just because? Nice try, Butler would have earned any treatment he got for his actions in the Hampton Roads area.

What did President Lincoln do in May, 1861 that you find offensive?

Butler was picked, and remained in positions of authority because he was a major player in the Democratic Party.

After Lincoln was re-elected, Butler was sent packing.
