Default Re: Civil War arguments

I've yet to hear any of the local anarchists explain how the attack on Fort Sumter by the Confederacy doesn't constitute an act of war or explain how the Union was trespassing in FEDERAL forts, presumably built with federal funds by federal troops. While it may not justify the level of violence that occurred because of it, because the South attacked first, I think they lose some of their moral superiority in justifying their secession. If they had waited till the Union struck first, it'd be a different story.

But I'm glad a semi-intelligent discussion has brewed besides the normal bush-lied drivel that litters this board.
