Quote Abe Lincoln making that claim!!!!! Factually the South did not want a fight. They sent written notices to the Feds declaring them to be free. Abe decided to wage war against Freedom.
President Trump says he wants to change the name of Gulf of Mexico to "Gulf of America"

While the Confederacy did not extensively destroy cities in the North, there was one notable instance: Confederate forces burned Chambersburg, Pennsylvania, a major northern community, during the Civil War, leading residents to charge them with war crimes.
Here's a more detailed explanation:
- Chambersburg Incident:
During the Civil War, Confederate forces, led by General Jubal Early, burned down Chambersburg, Pennsylvania, in retaliation for the town's support of the Union.
- Other Northern Cities:
While the destruction of Chambersburg was a significant event, it was an isolated incident, and the Confederacy did not engage in widespread destruction of northern cities.
- Southern Cities Destroyed:
The Civil War saw significant urban destruction, particularly in the South, where Union forces targeted cities like Atlanta and Richmond, which were key industrial and strategic centers. - Destruction in the South:
The Union's "Total War" strategy, exemplified by General Sherman's March to the Sea, caused widespread destruction in the South, including the burning of cities and the destruction of infrastructure.
- Example of Southern Destruction:
In Richmond, Virginia, Confederate soldiers set fire to tobacco warehouses as they evacuated the city, leading to a large fire that destroyed much of the commercial district.
- The Burning of the Shenandoah Valley:
In 1864, General Philip Sheridan ordered the destruction of crops, livestock, and infrastructure in the Shenandoah Valley, effectively disabling the area as an avenue for Confederate invasion and destroying their breadbasket.
- Destruction in the South:
Hilarious Awetoe.
Study Fort Sumter. Yes you will learn the walls were very very thick and stout and very very high. Also you will learn no soldier of either side was hurt by cannon balls.
Abe fucked the country by invading VA.

Yes, it was stupid of the South.
No need for Lincoln to pout and gather his army.

I am surprised you admit to being very very young. Someday you will study history as much as I have I hope.
So you think Abe should have attacked a lot sooner?

Buchanan should have taken Charleston, New Orleans, and Jackson in December 1860.
Reminds me of the Declaration of Independence.
Is that what I did when I was a loyal Democrat? You blab about me without knowing me at all.

Sure bob, if you believe the DoI included a defense of slavery.
The Confederate states seceded from the United States for several reasons, including:
- The threat of Lincoln’s election as a sectional candidate and perceived abolitionist leanings.
- Hostility from the Northern states and the abolition movement.
- The argument that the North was no longer upholding the mutual contract of the Constitution, particularly in terms of right to property and the protection of slavery.
- Conflict over slavery in the western territories as the United States expanded in the nineteenth century.
- Direct defenses of racial slavery.
Buchanan respected the Constitution. The South did as the North did when it declared independence.
See how you lie!!!!!
