Yes. Lincoln used the bombardment of a fort, a bombing that killed only one: a horse; as justification to start a blockade and raise up an invasionary army.

The only justice was that Lincoln died with his war.

analogy:
like I always say. Castro was no dope, if he had tried to take back Gitmo, we would have tore him a new one.

The stupidest thing the south did was attack Fort Sumter (and the supply ships). they could have seceded and then negotiated for the various US military forts throughout the south, but NO....they started a war, when they didnt have to.
