I think you will agree that the southern people suffered greatly from the decision to secede from the union.

Yes, but unless one was clairvoyant they had no idea that their secession would lead to starting a war which would result in losing the war.

“Yes, but unless one was clairvoyant they had no idea that their secession would lead to starting a war which would result in losing the war.”

I think they had to realize that firing on Fort Sumter would lead to a war.
