that the South had started.

Excuse me, the South didn't start the war. True, they fired on Ft. Sumter but Lincoln refused to move troops off of confederate soil. Lincoln wanted war and he pushed the South until he got it. Lincoln holds sole blame for the Civil War. Had he not pushed and allowed the confederate states to secede peacefully there would have been no war. He refused to recognize the rights of the states to leave the Union and used force to bring them back. He was an a**hat who couldn't stand for the Union to break up on his watch.

Confederate soil?!

There was no such thing as confederate soil.

It was all United States soil.

You forced the arguement.

You lost.

You have no right to victim status.

Howsabout quitting your rebellion and join the Union.

It wasn’t “confederate soil”.
