So? Is that reason to attack one's brethren?
perhaps you think we should do NOTHING (or as the northeastern LEFTISTS say, RETREAT & SURRENDER to our enemies!!!) when our enemies NOW "go back on" their promises???
while i would NOT have done so (had i been in charge that day), firing on the fort was "appropriate" as "a response to AGGRESSION", though "ILL-advised", strategically.
btw, speaking of the LEFTIST/SOCIALIST northeast, IF the southland seceded NOW, we wouldn't have to fight, as the northeast is NOW "sissified" to the point that a "dear friend" in CT is planning to come SOUTH to look for a MANLY husband!!! (A___________ says all the single men she meets in her profession are "gay" or "metrosexuals", who are about as feminine as she is!!!)
