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.
Then they shouldn't have attacked a federal fort.
ROFL! We've already been over this 100 times. Your side lost every time.
In your deranged mind perhaps. Meanwhile, in reality, confederates attacked a U.S. fort and started the war.
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.
The only thing you've proven is that you're a complete ******* retard.
Not only have you been shown that SC ceded the land so the U.S. government could build a fort...
Not only have you been shown that SC's "jurisdiction" was limited to arresting law breakers in criminal matters and serving process documents on civil matters...
But now you've been shown, with
Encyclopedia Britannica, the fort was under U.S. jurisdiction when the confederates attacked.
And your stupidity is even double that of being a ******* retard if you think anyone in their right mind is going to take the word of a nutcase like you, who
thinks he can rewrite history, over that of the
Encyclopedia Britannica.
Sucks to be you.
