Waffler, Smith It was Yankee acts of aggression that led to the only thing you remember of that war and that being that you had right because you had might and there is no other discussion but the shots fired from Sumpter. I imagine you forget Lincolns words of "I know what I do is wrong, in talking about the war between the states, but I feel the Union is more important." forgetting the most important part and that the line should have ended ..."more important than the constitution that gives the Union its power and that power from the people."
