The land that Fort Sumter stood on was sold to the US Congress by the state of South Carolina and paid for with tax money from every state. Fort Sumter itself was funded by Congress with tax money from every state. Fort Sumter was garrisoned with US soldiers from every state when South Carolina militia fired on it. Lincold called for volunteers only after Sumter was attacked and seized. So that makes the south the initial agressor.

@365to173repubsPWNED So what you are saying is. Southerners who defend the South have inferior brains and non existent logic? But the ones who don't defend themselves are very logical and have superior brains. What the hell is this Mickey Mouse bullshit? Agree with everything a yankees says? Like yankees know more about our home than we do? Do you really think that highly of yourselves? You can see why you can be mistaken for not being too rational yourself there bud.

You'll need to get a few grammar lessons first!

@365to173repubsPWNED I wouldn't call the Confederate loss "pathetic". My military standards, the South inflicted twice the casualties that they themselves suffered. The causes of the war were a tad more complex than the South "refusing to listen to the North"...

@MrPontiusPilate The British forts that was taken by the Colonial forfathers was also paid for by the "People" of the goverment. They ripped the flag of thier country from the mast and replaced it with thier flag. Forts such as Ft. Moltrie, and or Ft. Ticonderoga, and several more I could add. The Confederate Army did NOTHING more than our forfathers did against their country. What a hypocrite these Yankees are. LOL!! They are really that stupid?

Hopeforpeacenow, What did the Yankees do to the blacks? They traded for them on the African coasts, shipped them in at Rhode Island and Massachusetts, then sold them to the south. Then they had the audacity to "free" them by invading their native south, the only homes most of them had ever known, burning their homes, destroying their crops, and then leaving them to fend for themsleves. 100 years after the war the blacks suffered oppression much worse than any they knew before the war. Thanks!

MrPontiusPilate, the North was responsible. Instead of leaving Charleston after South Carolina seceded, a Constitutional right, federal troops moved to the island fortress of Fort Sumter, the first act of war between north and South. The South even offered a peace treaty to the U.S... but Lincoln refused. Instead, he sent a fleet of ships to reinforce Fort Sumter -- the second act of war against the South.When General Beauregard ordered the firing on Fort Sumter, it was the last resort.
