The reference was to my age in 1950 when I became four years old and not too bright since according to my mom, my first words were a full sentence at the age of 4. In school, I learned that he last reference was what you assumed was meant. You must've gone to a school that omitted that maxim. No hard feelings. I've actually written sentences that take up the same space two paragraphs. But I reference the current or last past sentence. I'm trying harder not to write too long of sentences, but sometimes recall people here don't always know what the other person's background is based on.
Whatever excuses you want to make; Buchanan was the first to try and relieve Sumter; Lincoln only did it because he knew exactly what the response would be, and wanted it.
