Too bad this man decided to order Americans to fire upon Americans.
I suppose it would have been different if Lincoln had been sworn in on January 20th (as we do now) instead of March 4th 1861..
Lincoln suffered through President Buchanan’s missteps and he complained about how he made it ever so much worse in those five long months between the 1860 election and his inauguration.
I believe the first shots fired were ordered by Confederate General PGT Beauregard.
And deliberately wage war on civilians. But hey, he had a bromance correspondence with Karl Marx, which would make a great teeshirt, and was a necessary precursor to where we are now.
