[Non-Sequitur]

Lincoln started the war when he invaded another country.

ROTFLMAO! And the rebel attack on the garrison in Sumter had nothing to do with it I suppose?

In hindsight that was certainly a mistake. But it was legal.

You are assuming (via your use of the term "rebel") that State secession was unconstitutional. Care to prove that point? Please quote for us the specific clause of the United States Constitution that prohibits State secession. Until you prove secession was unconstitutional, the "attack on the garrison in Sumter" will more properly be considered the eviction of foreign military forces from the territory of the sovereign State of South Carolina.
