Lincoln launched his war in April by firing of Fort Sumter?

I must have missed that part. I sort of guessed that Jeff Davis held off firing until Congress went home thinking that Lincoln would have been frozen.

You know that the 'Rats' back then always mis-underestimated the guy.

Some things never change.

Time for me to turn in. Have a good night Jonny Reb. ;~))

Lincoln launched his war in April by firing of Fort Sumter?

Nope. By sending his fleet there with orders to fight their way in.
