Why South Carolina seceded
South Carolina Declaration of Causes of Secession Teaching American History
In summary.....Slavery
One state mentioning Lincoln's hostility to slavery does not indicate South Carolina's desire to go to war to keep slavery. It also does not prove that the entire Confederacy went to war to keep slavery. Yes SC used Lincoln's hostility toward slavery as one reason for seceding, but the bigger reason was the subversion of the Constitution by the fed gov.
The Confederacy went to war because Lincoln invaded. Had Lincoln not invaded, the Civil War would never have occurred. So logically, the war was started and prosecuted by Lincoln and not the seceding states.
LOL, how might Lincoln have invaded property already owned by the Federal Government?
See: The First Shot of the Civil War 1861
Gip, all the evidence indicates the major reason was that the South was afraid it could not practice states' rights in continuing to enslave humans.
Conversation paperview who can give you a thorough seminar on the issue, because you seem to be working from confirmation bias unfounded on the evidence as a whole.
Gip, traitors fired on Old Glory flying above Ft Sumter.
Yes. That is just what I believe.

“Corner Stone” Speech
Confederate Vice President Alexander H. Stephens
Savannah, Georgia
March 21, 1861
The new constitution has put at rest, forever, all the agitating questions relating to our peculiar institution African slavery as it exists amongst us the proper status of the negro in our form of civilization. This was the immediate cause of the late rupture and present revolution.

In that case, you're wrong.
Not a new condition for you.
PC can't simply disagree, she must always add the personal attack - I guess it makes her feel superior, and that suggests on some level she knows how prosaic she is, and appears to most of us.
Wadda ya' mean FEEL superior??????
I guessed it made you feel superior, I'm sure others believe, as do I, that prosaic fits you like a second skin.
Midgets like you attempt to contend.....how could I not feel superior??
I mean, really.

So...you and RW think since the South fired on Ft Sumter, in which no one was killed or injured and Lincoln purposely set up the event to occur, means Lincoln was justified in waging total war against the South.
Warmongering fools..
800k Americans died and half the nation was destroyed...all because the South fired a few shots on Ft Sumter.
CRAZY!!!

Traitors....that is foolish.
So now Lincoln was justified in murdering thousands of southerns, because they were traitors. If that be the case, every state in all of history has the right to kill anyone who opposes it....
Are you a totalitarian or just ignorant?

Call it want you want
Traitors, slavers, tyrants
US forts across the south had lowered their flags and removed their commands, giving them over to state troops, peacefully. Lincoln needed a pretext for a war that the northern population was disinclined to fight. Resupplying Sumpter with troops and munitions violated prior agreements against doing so. A fully armed Sumpter would effectively close Charleston Harbor. Beauregard failed to see the bigger picture, that the naescent country was ill prepared to fight its larger neighbor and instructed his batteries to fire.
Lincoln enforced the law, and the traitors, similar to jihadists, broke the law.
