In your deranged mind perhaps. Meanwhile, in reality, confederates attacked a U.S. fort and started the war.Then they shouldn't have attacked a federal fort.Wrong, wannabe traitor, wrong. The traitorous rebels wanted a war and were determined to have one. They got one and got beaten down.
Absolutely wrong. The states that seceded did not want war. Nothing could be more obvious than that. You logic is identical to that of an abusive husband who says his wife deserved the beating he gave her because she tried to leave.
Lincoln did everything possible to instigate hostilities. He refused to negotiate on the transfer of federal property back to the host states. He attempted to resupply Ft Sumter despite being told not to. Furthermore, he invaded Virginia.
ROFL! We've already been over this 100 times. Your side lost every time.
Encyclopedia Britannica: Fort Sumter
By early 1861 the seven Southern states that had already seceded from the Union claimed possession of all U.S. forts and arsenals within their territory. Only two forts remained under federal jurisdiction: Fort Pickens, Florida, and Fort Sumter, which was garrisoned by U.S. troops under Major Robert Anderson.
Neither of the forts were under U.S. jurisdiction. Ft Sumter was under the jurisdiction of South Carolina. Fort Pickens was under the jurisdiction of Florida. I proved that over and over again.
No matter how many times you bleat that the Confederacy started the war by firing on Ft Sumter, you're wrong. The federal government had no more right to station troops in Ft Sumter than did France or Britain.
LOL! The idiots will argue about anything brother. They have absolutely no idea how the world worked back in those days. Try explaining that both armies were largely comprised of the respective State Militias... and you'll see nothing looking back at ya but perplexed confusion.
