Considering how far the debate has strayed from Fort Sumter then I suggest that the blatantly unconstitutional actions of Jeff Davis and his regime are just as much an issue as allegations of any violations by Lincoln. Except, of course, that when we bring up violations of article 1, section 8, clause 1; article 1, section 9, clause 1, clause 4, clause 12, clause 14, and clause 17; article 1, section 10, clause 2; article 3, section 1, clause 1; and so forth, you all refuse to come to Davis's defense.
Smoke, Mirrors, and bait & switch.......that is your motive.
