I can't believe so much sympathy is given to a group of rebels that chose to wage war on our country. Disgusting.

Technically yes, but that doesn't dissuade me from my point. Not to mention that the South drew first blood.

Federal troops were already garrisoned in the harbor area when South Carolina seceded. But it is true that the federal commander of another installation then moved his unit to Fort Sumter which killed negotions in progress with Washington and precipiated the southern attack.

I don't buy this trespassing argument regarding Fort Sumter. Like I said in the other thread, it's like declaring some spot you don't own yours and then calling the people who were on that spot trespassers.

This is just laughable. Wage war? The South was attacked. Even after they were attacked, the South fought an almost entirely defensive war.
